If AI becomes vastly more intelligent than humans as he predicts, a neural implant is nothing more than a teddy bear to make us feel better. If we augment ourselves with AI, our expanded selves will see the brain as vestigial and slowing us down, eventually excising it, then we become full machines.

In a way, transitioning like this, rather than only creating non-human AI in parallel, would hopefully transfer some of our humanity into the machines. In any case we would look back at this transition as a natural metamorphosis. I wouldn't be surprised if this metamorphosis is a natural emergent phenomenon among civilizations across the universe.
