If mere thought is input to the computer, then why should its output be presented to you as a physical stimulus? Like, why would there be a hologram telling you how to cook a recipe when it could just present itself as a hallucination? Better yet, save the time and make it seem like a memory of something you already know how to do. Or why not have the program operate your physical body directly? Or why not give you nourishment and produce the food experience completely virtually, a la The Matrix?

To me that sounds like 1950s predictions of the future showing us how mailmen will deliver letters with jetpacks. Anyone can do that kind of stupid extrapolation. But what's the equivalent of email in that scenario?
