Neuralink's recent advancement allows Bradford Smith, an ALS patient, to leverage an AI chatbot, Grok, for communication. Smith tweeted about his unique experience using Neuralinkâs brain-computer interface to draft messages. While this technology enhances self-expression, experts warn of potential downsides, including the authenticity of messages and the speed versus accuracy trade-off. Smith described the learning curve he faced in mastering cursor control and acknowledged AI's role in generating content, raising questions surrounding the implications of AI assistance in personal communication.
"I asked Grok to use that text to give full answers to the questions, I am responsible for the content, but I used AI to draft."
"It feels wild, like I'm a cyborg from a sci-fi movie, moving a cursor just by thinking about it."
"There is a trade-off between speed and accuracy," Eran Klein said, discussing brain-computer interfaces combined with AI for improved communication.
"This strategy could come with some downsides, blurring the line between what Smith intends to say and what Grok suggests."
