But using components specialized for being brains might slow you

have become an industry by 2027, used inside insect-robots or spy
cameras starting a decade earler...

That's really inspiring, man

How about organic interfaces e.g. processor drivers to nerve
tissues ; neuro-chip replacement for spinal nerve connection
etc etc ,... that's going to be a reality as well ...
so that people like Christopher Reeves could possibly be walking
again by 2027 or earlier , right ?
