Uh, we already have, for decades if not centuries.

If you said artificial organs, I’d say yes. My son was watching a kids’ show where the superheroes have “upgrades” and asked for it. I said no, that’s not available, but a female classmate has a similar thing. She has an artificial pancreas, and her mother’s phone has an app that notifies her when she has too much sugar to eat or blood sugar that’s too high. She had to call the teacher one time based on the app notification to say NO, the child is not having a third cupcake.

I can see humanity having artificial retinas to replace those destroyed by glaucoma, artificial kidneys for diabetics, and the implants they’re working on to counteract dimension. The ethical case for HEALING is clear. As is the business case.

There is no such justification for connecting your brain to an AI and becoming a zombie.
