That Cyberpunk dystopia inching closer and closer...
I kid, this is great. This is the shit technology is all about. There's already people walking around using arms powered by AI that can work in synch with their real arm. It's bonkers... What a time to be alive.
If you are old enough you'll remember this Neural Controller presented at GDC 2007, it was working and you could even move in a 3D spaces with some training.
GDC 2007: Emotiv Systems Unveils Shocking Neural Interface Device IGN Gear gets a closed door demo. We've seen lame mind reading gimmicks before. This one actually works. Very well.

I think it never released tho, but I dreamed about this thing so much as a kid. I wanted to use it for things like quickly change weapons or reload in Counterstrike lol
One has to wonder how mental health or first response/impulse affects such things. I know my internal monologue can second guess etc. I suppose you have to train your thoughts for mind reading. Imagine having a live stream of your consciousness, it's not always right or well formed first go round, if you know what I mean. Iterations, permutations, learning and shaping thoughts on a fly by wire approach seem like AI would be validating thoughts more than the thoughts themselves. The blurring of the lines of thought process is going to be weird AF.
