I think that this question is also an existential one: how do we want to live our lives? besides the scientific/philosophical discussion about memory and writing, which is fascinating by itself, the question for me is what kind of human beings do we want to be? do we want to let AI's write down everything for us or do we want to leave a mark, leave OUR mark in the world and actually do the things ourselves? also, if we think of every activity as a chore, then we are only looking at its results. but there is also the satisfaction of doing the activity. this view of AI's as a replacement for everything is just the climax of the fantasy of the modern hedonist society addicted to instant gratification.
But that also means that illusions can be used to gain at least some (sense of] control. See that mismatched bracket? I did that, despite the Universe screaming with a thousand voices that I shouldn't.
