Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Quoting out of context

The article quotes Bobby Kotick discussing machine learning and Neuralink, but it does not provide the full context of his statements.

Kotick allegedly discussed machine learning, Guitar Hero and the apocalyptic power of Microsoft R&D. "If you look at the new technologies that are on the horizon, we're going to be able to do things that we've never done before with AI and machine learning," Kotick is said to have said. "The quality of graphics are now elevated to a place where we're going to need more writing talent and more acting talent - because we won't be able to actually fulfill the expectations of our players." Kotick reportedly added that "games are always very different than film and television. In film and television, you are successful by creating a connection that's emotional between you and the audience - our experiences are more visceral, but it's changing. We have characters on the screen and video games who with mouth movements and facial animation that is realistic - you're going to have a new dimension of emotional connection that we've not yet mastered."

Biased language

The article uses biased language when describing Neuralink's brain tech as 'invasive gadgetry' and 'stuffing it into the heads of monkeys.'

Musk has suggested various applications for this invasive gadgetry, from treating brain diseases to achieving some kind of symbiosis with artificial intelligence. A lot of scientists aren't convinced, however: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology review described Musk's 2020 live-streamed demonstration of Neuralink as 'neuroscience theater' designed purely to 'stir excitement'. Neuralink test their brain tech by stuffing it into the heads of monkeys.
