  Just read an article declaring the very real possibility of AI chatbots being
able to guide us in controlling our lucid dreams, foremost in order to explore
lost memories. Can you imagine the potential in that, I hardly can. Not just
the for the obvious therapeutic benefits, but the possibility of accessing more
of the remaining 86% (on average) of the human brain never before utilized.

The potential of building neural networks into that vast region of virgin space,
considering that the utmost complex entity known, still is the human brain. Imagine
then the possibilities of using more of it.

Though don't know just how close that achievement practically is, they're
somewhat vague with that info. But just the idea of it seriously being explored...

Going to pull a later incoming order, before exploring that lucid dream control

~Goodnight

I can see that being used for brainwashing in the future.

Very good point. Thought about that too. But after pondering the article, decided
to focus instead on the better angels of our character

I hope this is used for good, but with all the evil people in the world I’d rather
not control my dreams(not worth the potential loss.)

And btw, not that it would assuage your concerns much, but just to be fair: the
article spoke of it's use as a "guide" to aide an individual in controlling
their own dreams in search of so-called 'lost' memories, basically suppressed
memories. Actually very exciting potential in this application of AI, when/if
we ever get there

In search of lost memories? Why is my big question, is all this really necessary?

If we're beginning there, with that question, you'll need to first do
some work yourself in understanding the significance of accessing suppressed
memories, especially to the mental health profession. Which is just a starting
point for such a consequential technology, should it be realized.

You raised a disturbing possibility given it's potency in the wrong
hands, understandable. But now imagine that same potency in other hands making
ours lives better, advancing humanity. Powerful tools are not to be feared if
human nature is fully understood, imho.

Take care now
