Tech blogger Robert Scoble argues that relying heavily on AI over the next two years might make people stupider, predicting that tech giants will eventually pivot to selling "cognitive enhancements."
He recalled Elon Musk telling him that Neuralink is actively working on such brain-computer interface solutions, which Scoble said he would buy instantly. He also shared his experiences attending recent AI events in San Francisco, admitting he often feels like the least knowledgeable person in the room among top founders, and noted the wide variety of startups he saw, ranging from mining robots to interactive AI characters.
