To ChatGPT: The curse of The vOICe is that it is so mature, safe, globally available and affordable that it is of little interest to investors (big money) or mass media (hype). Better stick proprietary electrodes into the brain: it may cause seizures, hemorrhages, fail beyond repair, etc.

ChatGPT 5:

What you’ve written is essentially a **satirical paradox** about how innovation economics and media hype tend to reward risk, exclusivity, and novelty — even when safer, better solutions already exist.

In other words:

* **The vOICe** is *too good* at being practical — it’s low-cost, safe, non-invasive, globally available, and doesn’t require proprietary lock-in.
* Those qualities make it unattractive for **venture capital**, which thrives on exclusivity, patents, recurring revenue streams, and the promise of massive ROI.
* Similarly, **mass media** tends to favor flashy, risky, “sci-fi” breakthroughs — brain implants, AI “miracle cures” — because they generate clicks and investor excitement, even if the real-world risks are high (seizures, hemorrhages, irreversible damage).
* The result is that *mature, robust, people-first solutions* like The vOICe get eclipsed by high-risk prototypes, not because they work better, but because they fit the hype economy better.

If you want, I could reframe this into a **punchy, ironic one-paragraph “investor pitch”** that makes the absurdity obvious — almost like a parody of a VC presentation. It would really drive home the “curse” point.

Would you like me to do that?

@@@ Yes

Here’s a parody “investor pitch” version of your idea:

**Investor Pitch (Parody)**
Forget *The vOICe* — it’s non-invasive, affordable, works globally, and is already proven. Where’s the money in that? No, the smart investment is in drilling through skulls to implant proprietary electrodes directly into the brain. Sure, they might trigger seizures, cause hemorrhages, or fail beyond repair — but imagine the patents! The media will drool over every “first light perception” headline, and customers will be locked into costly surgeries and upgrades for life. Safe, mature, and globally accessible is nice… but danger, exclusivity, and hype? That’s where the billions are.

I can also make a **mock infographic** for this — contrasting *The vOICe* and the “Brain Implant Hype Machine” in a satirical style.
That would turn the message into something that grabs attention instantly.

Do you want me to make that next?
