About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

AI in the Human Brain? What if?
Prompt: AI in human brain
If it were possible to insert an AI capacity in a human brain without messing up the human brain's natural abilities, would you approve it and would you have AI inserted in your own brain?
----------------
This is a hypothetical question, but I feel it needed to be asked.
To start from the bottom, no, I would not have AI inserted in my brain. Imagine a weirdo getting hold of a special way of influencing all the AI'ed brains and making them do weird things, worse yet terrible things, to other humans. Besides, I'm too old to deal with much smartness, but not that I don't need at least a bit of it.
I asked this question online and this is what I got as response:
"In theory, yes — it might one day be possible to integrate an artificial intelligence system with a human brain, in a way that doesn’t harm its natural functioning. Scientists are already working on brain–computer interfaces (BCIs), like those developed by Neuralink or university research labs, that can read neural signals and even stimulate certain brain areas to restore function or aid communication."
Come to think of it, if it were possible, this would take care of many ailments, such as strokes, paralysis, memory-loss and such. Yet, this has to be precise and not harm the personality of the human who is being helped.
Then, I don't think we can upgrade a brain as if a computer because, when its emotional and dynamic ways of working are messed with, it may just collapse. I certainly don't want to live with a collapsed brain, as much as I envy the quickness and thoroughness of AI.
Still. if it were possible, its consequences would be revolutionary. Imagine this: perfect memory recall, faster problem-solving, instant language learning, new forms of creativity, a much better understanding of others.
On the negative side, we'd end up with a whole new class system: Augmented humans vs the natural ones. That certainly would end up in an identity crises.
This all comes down to another question: Will humans be more like machines or machines be more like humans?
This chain of thought makes me worry about us humans. I mean, what if we loose our human center in the process? It would mean knowledge without meaning. I'm not so sure I'd be comfortable with that.
