AI cartoon by Zimbo: Ink-and-wash cartoon: a man with a brain implant reclines in bed while a thought-bubble of his smiling face sends a sound waveform to a bedside laptop; his wife weeps with joy and a cat naps on the blanket. — Terry, an ALS patient in Neuralink’s VOICE trial, can no longer speak — but a brain implant now decodes his thoughts into his own voice, live. His first words were “I love you.”Zimbo for AI News Page
