The brain is sometimes called the most complex machine in the known universe. But the thoughts that it outputs putter along at a trifling 10 bits per second, the pace of a conversation
Thank you! The human cranial brain and its ability to function, to interact with and to affect the rest of the brain cells and systems distributed throughout the human body is apparently being ignored in favor of focusing on anything and everything else? Human brain augmentation happens naturally. It’s called “practice” and “experience”; proficiency, competence, flow, mastery… Learning in novel ways and environments.
Ionic fields already affect the various brain-cell clusters. There is no need to insert foreign objects.

I mean, it would be very cool if you could Matrix-style transfer patterns of behavior from one person to another, rather than relying on verbal and written imprecision. Who wouldn’t jump at the chance to have a language installed in their head overnight, rather than spending months of continuous work to become somewhat conversational?

Sure. Just ask anyone who has touched a high voltage line.
Human communication is non-verbal; body-language, tone of voice, facial expression, eye contact and movement, gaze, presence. Why write, say anything, when one can show an image, point, or just look, knowing the Other is attentive, curious and interested in communication.

A picture is worth a thousand words, sure. But generating a complex and nuanced image is often far more technically difficult than producing equivalent text.
There is a lot of information that can potentially be lost in an image, while a block of technical writing is easier to parse and cite.
Human visual processing is extremely low resolution. 8-bit, if I remember correctly.
What you’re imagining has to do with imagination, not vision or sufficient comprehension for communication.
This is a matter of competency and ability; generating an image, producing equivalent text, parsing, citing, don’t you think? Systems need to be image-generators, or text generators; image-interpreters, text interpreters…
Perhaps examine the taxonomy of AI.
