AI is better at recognizing patterns than we are. The brain may be unfathomable to us, but technology already exists which could recognize the signals in your brain that represent memories and reproduce or alter them.

Neuralink and similar devices are being used right now, today, to record the thoughts of animals. The first neuralink patient is alive and well, meaning it's already being used on humans.

Do you really think this technology won't exist in our lifetime?

Yes, absolutely. What you're describing is AGI. If an AI could untangle engrams from branched clusters of extremely plastic neurons, it could understand and improve it's own thinking. It would actually be self aware before it could untangle the mess that our brains are. And I don't see AGI happening with our current material and resource constraints before I die. Seeing brain regions being active and de-novo engram implantation is about as close as an LLM is to AGI.

Being 70-80 years old sucks. My condolences. We'll mess around with AGI when you're gone and I'll think about you
