It's kind of ironic how the guy who invented Neuralink is the same guy who says he's concerned about AI. Perhaps he knows something about the way humans could evolve with his new Neuralink?
Humans with AI sure do look like a very creepy future, and it's going to turn into reality in a matter of months if Musk proceeds with his plan of implanting the first chip before the end of the year. It could have some very strange effects on humans and that really does scare me. If I decide to take the implanted chip, how do I ever know that chip doesn't take over my brain and cancel all my abilities, hence making me become basically trapped inside my own body with no way of taking back the control?
If his Neuralink AI consists in auto-learning and will give us the ability of communicating non-verbally, doesn't this mean the chip will be able to communicate with other chips and, one day, they could auto-teach each other to overtake humanity?
I'm just not sure this is the right path we're taking. When I think of it in-depth, it scares me. If we take a look back at relics and all the ancient symbols of astronauts and etc, what if this is similar to the last advancement in technology the last advanced race before us was able to achieve before they self-destroyed.. How will you know that, when you talk to me while I have the chip linked to my brain, you're communicating with me and not with the artificial brain inside me?
The chip being linked to our brain means it'd be able to make us see things that aren't real.. perhaps fooling us into thinking we've discovered a new dimension with other beings while, in fact, that's all only inside our brain.
This is a new level we're taking science to and I personally fear we're going to enter a phase of science we create but cannot understand.
