Surprising behaviours emerge when Open AI created a Hide and Seek game
https://openai.com/blog/emergent-tool-use/
(Lots of good GIF animations in the article)
AI bots were tasked with being the best "hider" or "seeker" in a 3D virtual environment.
But what resulted was cunning, brute force and downright cheating.
From blocking doors to stop seekers, to using ramps to get over walls. From stealing the ramps to stop the previous behaviour to "block surfing", not to mention accelerating objects into walls to exhibit glitches.
This is not the first time AI has done what is asked of it with a few unintended results.

Then, you are not "human" anymore, and not even a "person"...
With neural interface you could actually become a "focused" hivemind, there is no reason for the AI to not have some personality as it interacts with you.
Imagine if eventually we eventuallt can figure out what make the brain aware/selfaware (i do not like the term "alive"), we may be able t0 3d print some polymerbrain or even biological cells arranged after our desig, and you can extend yourself for realz...
By those times there will probably be no reason to have a body, you can be happy with your artificial family in a jar, and let robots more or less controlled by you fix the practical, worldy issues =)

"Focused hivemind" is a good choice of words, and I find it desirable. It may or may not have a personality. Depends on how brainlike the hardware is.
The ideal way for an implant to work is to not allow networking at all. Upload new data to your implant using a physical connection to an airgapped computer. Rudimentary AI will figure out how to make the computer and storage an extension of your own mind so that you can access new knowledge as if it was your own memories.
For the hivemind, an implant is probably too small to host a complete humanlike intelligence, but you could connect to a "brain rack" at home. You could mind upload or imprint one or more copies of your own personality into the hardware. It doesn't even have to be exact, just substantially inspired by your own thought patterns. That way you have a thing you can mostly trust, which will amplify your thinking ability.
Connect to the web or other people at your own risk.
