Psychologists had been trying to come up with ways to increase intelligence for more than a century, with little success. The consistent finding from this research was that when people practice some task, they get better on that task, and maybe on very similar tasks, but not on other tasks. Play a videogame and you’ll get better at that videogame, and maybe at very similar videogames, the research said, but you won’t get better at real-world tasks like doing your job, driving a car, or filling out your tax return.

What’s more, whenever intelligence gains were reported, they were modest, especially given how much training it took to produce them.
 
In a few years, as Neuralink advances further, everyone will be intelligent.
