From the article. >Thought-to-text, aka telepathy No, that's not telepathy. I'd leave the term alone. Consider it to be reserved for... well... telepathy! | ||

Well, the text-to-thought direction feels less sci-fi, and combining both would amount to kind of telepathy. But sure, you're right. Reading is not a deterministic mapping of text to thoughts. Apart from the trouble of defining what a thought is, independent from the person who thinks it. Me thinking of grabbing a mug of coffee is a different thought from you doing the same... defining "thought" pulls in a whole jungle of epistemology (maybe I should say philosophy, more broadly, I'm not in the field). Is there an abstract concept of "the thought of raising your left index finger"? Or "the thought of remembering severe pain"? Etc etc | ||

Next you'll want the term "Artificial Intelligence" reserved for actual artificial intelligence. | ||

next they're going to set up thought-triggered Amazon purchases and say that moving the object from the warehouse to your home constitutes telekinesis. ever since Elon did his "promise full self-driving every year" thing, entrepreneurs been on a weird sort of fiction escalator. thought-to-text is incredible. imagine doing something that remarkable with your life and feeling the need to exaggerate. | ||
