Why do people say that in the future they'll "upload their consciousness" to a computer or an AI? As if they'll just hit enter and go to cyberheaven? They'll continue to exist as a human with a digital copy online somewhere, that if continuing to evolve would become divergent from themselves. What the fuck do they mean "their consciousness"? Are they so vain they think they need to eternalize their shitty generic personality traits into some chatbot? That their mind or intelligence, distinctly physical and biologically rooted things, needs to continue on a system benchmarked by bandwidths and processing power superior to our own brains? Or are they hoping to enter some wonderful VR world where they fuck loli pussy all day, again, the sensation of which is entirely rooted in our biological bodies?

I can't wrap my head around any of the appeal of digitizing your brain. It might be good for scanning for faulty/lost memories or maybe mental illnesses but a digital copy serves no purpose and even in a situation with a sentient AI, your copy would be joining the sentient AI to no benefit to you or probably it either. All it would be good for is data and maybe better pattern recognition? It wouldn't make you fucking immortal. Fuck.
