Scientists have mapped a fruit fly's brain in incredible detail and are using that information to build computational models of its neural network.
And honestlyβ¦
I have only one question:
When is it our turn? π
Because if this technology keeps moving forward, maybe students won't need to spend years studying anymore.
Imagine the future:
π¨βπ« Teacher:
"Have you studied AI?"
π§βπ Student:
"No."
π¨βπ«:
"Have you studied mathematics?"
π§βπ:
"No."
π¨βπ«:
"Programming?"
π§βπ:
"No."
π¨βπ«:
"Then what HAVE you studied?"
π§βπ:
"Nothing. AI trained my brain." π
The future learning process:

No "please explain this in your own words." π
You just wake up and suddenly:
"Congratulations! You now know calculus, Python, quantum physics and how to fix production bugs."
But jokes aside, the fly-brain research is actually fascinating.
Scientists are getting much better at mapping biological brains and creating computational models based on those neural connections.
A fruit fly is obviously very far from a human brain, and we are nowhere near uploading human knowledge or consciousness.
But it does make you wonderβ¦
What happens when we understand the human brain well enough to simulate parts of it?
Maybe one day the biggest competition won't be:
"Who studied the most?"
It'll be:
"Who has the best brain model?" π
Until thenβ¦
Back to studying. ππ
Because unfortunately,
AI train my brain is still not available in Settings.

can we also train a real fruit fly using ai to do things for us ??
Yes. The actual fly-brain simulation project is on GitHub and is public. You can check the repository directly
