It’s going to be hard enough for technologically advanced cultures to adapt to a world with AI and deepfakes etc. Imagine how much harder it will be for some “developing” cultures around the world.
I keep thinking of boomers’ stereotypical ineptitude with basic technology that younger generations take for granted, and remote first-contact tribes that think taking a picture will steal their soul, and even object permanence issues in small children.
The brave new world is/will be such a massive paradigm shift for so many people. The struggle will be real.

I’m excited about the positive potential for AI but also think great caution is called for. With great power comes great responsibility. Unfortunately, we are human after all.

Interesting that it reads neurons in motor cortex and not the speech centers further upstream, I wonder what the pros/cons are for each, and the rationale behind the decision.
Does this mean that people who lost their ability to speak a long time ago—who may have somewhen forgotten how to produce speech—would get worse results from this technology.
