    That’d still just be a copy.

    And sounds like “I like the idea of ai, but I want something even less ethical.” Unless it is highly specialized to the point of non-sapience. “Existence? Look buddy, I cook and that’s it. I can contemplate the life cycles of ingredients and I do my best to have a safe kitchen, but beyond that I don’t have the information to think about it.”

      I was thinking more like nanobot that slowly replace your brain cells till it fully replaces them after a few month. As to make it a ship of Theseus problem, and not black mirror.

        Aside from a last resort, for what purpose?

        I would rather go the opposite direction: brain stays (mostly) stock but supported by multiple other forms of life. Much more of a gut microbiome, harmless viruses etc add to immune system, mycelium network, microbiome automatically cleans surface.

        Swap resources with a tree, filter contaminates from air/water or produce organic compounds, photosynthesis in larger tanks (stationary) or luminescence in organic gel (body).

          While I agree that it should be a last resort, as even I would only feel save accepting it on my deathbed, the reason why is that I simply want nothing more than to be a full robot. Without any biology to feed, only machine!
