a computer can only take in data, in the sense that you "upload" your brain. all it can do is work with your data. now you're saying, if you can upload a brain you can upload the brain's functions. I highly doubt this, as brains are of such a matter that there's no way of a computer being able to inherit these functions. now I can imagine a computer being able to read brain patterns and hold that data in memory, use that data to decide what action to carry out. Even then it would be a form of AI. I do not imagine a computer ever being able to gain a proper "personality" from a brain, or do anything even close to "respecting a person's opinions". that's just insane, dude.

While you do have a good point, I do believe it to be flawed. Our minds are governed by the laws of physics, as are any machine we create. While our minds may currently operate faster and on a higher level of intricacy than any machine counterpart of current or near future times, is it not possible to create an item of interest that can emulate that, even if it causes the functions to run slower?

How do you know that an A.I. would not do anything even close to respecting a person's opinions? It's not insane.

similarly, if a computer were able to use a brain in such a complex way, then we are all essentially acting on a form of AI, since our AI can be used by a computer to do everything we are able to do. No way. a computer cannot start taking in data and respecting peoples' beliefs.

Who's to say that we are not acting on a form of AI? It seems to me like your mind is closed to the idea. Sure, it's scary. I'll agree there; it's really scary. The idea of something we creating being able to not only live, but live at a level even halfway close to ours... if not at or higher. However, I'm very confident that it's possible. Maybe not downloading our brains. Maybe not in the near future. But it's certainly a possibility, in my opinion.
