Before the rise of modern LLMs, when both AI and cybernetics were just futurists’ speculation, some people saw parallels.

For example, thinking humans wouldn’t be displaced by super intelligent machines, but would instead be augmented by them cybernetically, becoming super intelligent while still having a human soul and body.

Sometimes I feel rather superhuman when my meat head commands my meat hands to invoke Claude on my iPhone.

I shouldn’t have to weld to my flesh to be called a cybernetic organism.

If human adoption of brain-machine interfaces progresses fast enough, I don't see why this future can't still happen.
