Cybernetics? Does anyone actually use it? It's like talking about transistors compared to AI and computer science. Most probably there are still some dads who are interested in Radio innards.

Heart pacemakers are probably the closest we have to an actual prevalent electronic alteration of body

Yeah, but it keeps a failing part of it from failing even earlier. If you mean the word as a complete body change that keeps you immortal, that's not ever gonna happen. Obsolecence comes much faster than death.

True but the measure of complexity for a given structure is not just robustness, but also generative entrenchment. The more a structure evolves, the more the past and existing constraints are entrenched, to the point that sometimes change in the colloquial sense becomes untenable

Also you mentioned something very specific that is often ignored. You said 'gradual' change. Yes, but you see the fanatic proponents of cybernetics are precisely those who think that it bypasses gradual change.
