why would people with healthy brain function need memory implants? (symptoms, ears)

[spiros7]

i can understand the practical purpose for memory implants to alleviate or eliminate the symptoms of ahlzeimers or dementia, but i dont see the practical purpose for a person who has a healthy functioning brain

afterall, humanity has advanced technology, produced masterful art ,and advanced medicine without memory implants

would a healthy person opt for memory implants to professionally compete against AI to keep ones job, or would a professional opt for memory implants to compete against a robot who is interviewing for a job


memory implants can potentially be hacked to mess with human brain function(our hardware) that form memories.

would such implants interfere with learning? and if it does, do u think memory implants for healthy people are worth the risk

if the human learning hardware (the brain) can potentially be manipulated, should regulations be enacted to prevent obvious implications

what is your opinion?

excuse unedited grammar

this is based on this article:

The article is mostly BS. The researchers say this will be available in 10 years. Of course they say that, it helps them get more funding. But it's science fiction. No one understands the brain well enough to improve its functioning in any safe and meaningful way. The idea that soon they will is wishful thinking and marketing BS.

i know people do that to increase interest in long term prospects or to gain funding by exaggerating long term propects & innovation.



for instance, i am skeptical of deep space colonialization, far away astetoid mining involving humans and luxury rides beyond the moon
