[...] As we previously introduced, BrainGate2 has three components: a sensor, a decoder, and assistive technology. The sensor consists of an array of 96 hair-thin electrodes the size of a children’s aspirin that is surgically implanted into the motor cortex, the part of the brain that controls body movements. Neural activity is relayed through a gold wire to a computer (the decoder), which interprets the signals and produces a command for the robot arm. Two robotic arms have been tested in the study: the DEKA Arm System and the heavier DLR Light-Weight Robot III arm from the German Aerospace Centre. [...]

Definitely not inevitable.
If it's initially about communicating with a computer-enabled device, this isn't a problem. Perhaps a nuisance. No more a problem than it is now.
If it's about actual matrix-style input, it's harder to say. I think computer-augmented intelligence would be very good at recognizing any sort of spam. We aren't the same as computers.

I'm tempted to be a test subject, perhaps another day….

you are an idiot!!! this technology isn’t about controlling other people’s minds; it is about using your mind to control inanimate objects such as a electronic wheelchair or a mechanical prosthetic arm. If someone loses their arm in a war or something, a mechanical prothstetic arm can be attached which they will be able to use their mind to control.
