I think that these aspirations for an electrosilico (pardon my neologisms) interface with the biological brain are a rather outdated nostalgia of the 20th century ninetys.(Vaporwave comes to mind).
Intersecting just 90 sensors with the insane mass of neurons... it seems rather clumsy primitive tech tbh.
If I was about to bet on the future I assume, that aspirations of hybridisation/creolisation/amalgamation of human&machine will happen on the biological register; that this development will go the other way round: from semiconductors to biotechnology. E.g. the brain is a fabulous architecture; damn effective and very low energy consumption at the same time.
Wich makes me think: A substantially useful AI that can immerse with neurological coginition (and not just be a fancier interface that safes you from carrying a calculator around), will probably need A LOT of computational power. Damn these things can't even steer a hand through useful movements while im typing a way in language (which is its own insane technology [1]) with quite some musicality.
What I mean is: Let's assume you could really supply the population with these interfaces and they really work. Who is going to be supplied with her/his own infrastructure of supercomputers running that AI that will merge with her/his cognition?
I don't think that it would be possible to supply even a marginal amount of the population with access to these entitys.
So this amounts to some dream of the (misunderstood version) of the Übermensch, as a caressing of the narcissitic hurt that the being of tekhne inflicts to some.
[1] It has been argued that language speaks. Not only do subjects speak language, but language also speaks subjects. (that's spoken through Heidegger). Thus there is something like a life of lanugage (it makes sense to think about if it is alife). Think of language as an AI.
