Agree and the next big step may well be human computer interface. Speech is starting point for input. At some point output will change also and if think it out longer term perhaps a future where instead of reading information we install knowledge, including the stored memory of actual experience. If I want to do pottery, I could think this, download the experience and then be competent at it.

Even more impressive would be if I don't want to know pottery anymore, and I can delete that knowledge to make room for something else.

The idea of giving the adtech industry direct access to my brain is genuinely horrifying, not to mention Aldous Huxley would have some reasonable objections to everything being this easy all of a sudden.

This would be nice if I didn't believe that it would be enshittified before it ever got off the ground. E.g.: * There will be a monthly fee for the interface; you owe the monthly fee as long as you have it, so you need surgery to stop paying * When you download knowledge, it's a rental, and in addition to per-hour rental fees and the network connection fee, you will owe 30% on the value of whatever you create * The TOS will govern your behavior continuously, since you're always using the interface * Your behavior will always be monitored because it's totally justified to spy on you all the time just because you borrowed pottery knowledge * If you're found to be in violation of any part of the TOS at any time, they will erase all of the knowledge they've added to your brain, as well as any derived knowledge you gained through the use of their knowledge * Because this product isn't actually considered essential, you will have no legal remedies if they turn it off, even if you are not actually in violation of the TOS
