Reply to comment by esprit-de-lescalier in An ALS patient set a record for communicating via a brain implant: 62 words per minute by esprit-de-lescalier

TLDR from ChatGPT:

A team of scientists at Stanford University have published a study on a brain implant that allows a patient with ALS to communicate at a rate of 62 words per minute.
The patient had lost their ability to speak due to ALS and had to rely on a writing board or iPad to communicate before the implant.
The brain implant is placed in the motor cortex, records activity from a few dozen neurons at once and finds patterns that reflect what movements the person is thinking of, even if they are paralyzed.
Results have been called a "big breakthrough" by researchers not involved in the project and it is suggested that the technology could be ready to leave the lab and become a useful product soon.

I don't know the answer but you can use summate.it that does the same thing

Build on this, this opens up an interesting space for Chat GPT as well. Rather then putting forward full speech can ALS patient put forward a prompt that is then expanded upon by chat gpt? Also maybe an AI that is trained on previous things the patient wrote might be able to write it in the same style and personality as the person themselves.
