There's nothing theoretically impossible about the suggestion, giving it a shot would be doable today if someone with resources really wanted to. I'm sure people at Neuralink or similar companies talk about stuff like this all the time. But there's a big difference between "it wouldn't be theoretically impossible" and "the resulting model would actually work and be useful for anything". I would bet with p80 if you literally tried this with a lot of good researchers and resources, you would get a model that outputs a bunch of mashed up electrical brain data that, hey, actually looks pretty damn realistic. Maybe you could use that to better understand how the brain works, and improve the model. But I would almost guarantee you wouldn't suddenly be talking to a man in the computer. The compute isn't there. Maybe in 50 or 100 years.
