Yes, I think so. I wish I had a high bandwidth brain.

Maybe having a philosophical computer capable of determining whether a problem is worth computing at all as opposed to a computer capable of solving the problem quickly could be more useful.

Imagine watching someone's imaginations raw and unedited -- I guess I would either be bored to death or get sick very quickly...  :-\

I'm thinking that if you could think of an image (any image) and have it appear on the computer in a short time, it will be a whole new paradigm for creating such images. It wouldn't be much of a step to extend it to videos.

It obviously won't solve the problem of knowing how to create good content.

There would also be a major problem due to this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_thought if left unfiltered.


--- Quote ---Many people experience the type of bad or unwanted thoughts that people with more troubling intrusive thoughts have, but most people can dismiss these thoughts.[6] For most people, intrusive thoughts are a "fleeting annoyance".[7]

That is unless you're hooked up to a machine recording your thoughts. You'd have to exibit high self control otherwise random things like "I'm going to throw my kid out a window" "I so want to have sex with [person]" "I hope [person] dies" would get recorded or even broadcast, and no longer easy to just forget about a moment later. So yeah, you'd either get bored to death from someone trying too hard not to think negative that they just barely think of anything, or get sick very quickly from the noise in our fallable meat machine processors.

You would probably end up with a lot of "Jackson Pollock" art. Not my thing :o

Creativity from an AI is already here.  There are examples like 'draw a picture of 2 cats playing chess' and the output is indeed such a painting and it is very good.

Google search for 'DALL-E' (no quotes)

I don't see much for the AI to gain from connecting to a human brain.  Most people's thought process more closely approximates 'random walk'.

I'm sure it wouldn't change anything first, and then a decade later Facebook would be using it to download advertisement and the only correct political opinion directly to your cerebral cortex. And junkies would use it to permanently trigger parts of their brain, and make them completely unfunctional in a society.
