A team of scientists has made a groundbreaking discovery by employing a Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) AI model similar to ChatGPT to reconstruct human thoughts with up to 82% accuracy from functional MRI (fMRI) recordings. This unprecedented level of accuracy in decoding human thoughts from non-invasive signals paves the way for a myriad of scientific opportunities and potential future applications, the researchers say.

myriad of scientific opportunities and potential future applications,

Literal thought police. Interrogations.

Imagine the marketing potential, too. Real time responses to propaganda or ads, which can tailor responses to thoughts, possibly even subconscious ones.

Scary stuff
