Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes. (lemmy.world)

The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We'd just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who's calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.

Maybe we aphantisians will get a version with mental voice narration instead of mental images, much like visual blind people have today for visual media and information.

I wonder how bad that would be when competing with the inner monologue.. cuz my brain talks to me a lot.

It could create a really bad loop of the inner monologue and the implant voice interacting and discussing with each other.
