OpenAI’s chatGPT might be helping people write codes and whatnot, but netizens want something that can help them deal with typing “bottleneck” — and Elon Musk has the answer to it all. 

What Happened: On Tuesday, several Twitter users shared their frustrations about the act of “typing,” saying that it’s one of the most significant bottlenecks in human progress.

To a user who tweeted that chatGPT can be used to write entire apps, but it can only build “as fast as I can type,” Musk gave a simple answer, “Neuralink.” 

For the unversed, Musk launched Neuralink in 2016 with a $100 million investment. He believes that the company’s technology can help humans achieve a state of “symbiosis” with AI. Simply put, people will be able to effortlessly combine their brains with computers. 

Why It’s Important: Musk’s Neuralink has been developing brain implants intending to cure conditions like paralysis and blindness. 

In 2021, Musk’s brain-chip company showcased a macaque playing a video game using its thoughts. 

At the time, a Neuralink specialist explained that in the event of a successful implant, individuals could control a computer cursor using their thoughts, allowing them to engage in a range of activities such as browsing the internet, composing emails and sending text messages.
