haha, the "Baby you must be tired because you've been running through my mind all night!" let-me-out line.

Why would I give AI my precise brain scan, anyway?

edit: as for AI 'extrapolating' me from a bit of small talk, that's utter nonsense along the lines of compressing an HD movie into few hundreds bytes.

Well, what if the AI took some liberty in the extrapolation and made up what it was missing? Being a simulation, you wouldn't know how the "real you" differs from you.

The point is that the real me knows that 'simulated me' is going to be different enough from real me, as to be an entirely different being which has in fact little in common with me. There's bigger problem, the AI could simulate beings, and then torture them. But that AI would need a ton of computing power.

I think what would happen in the real world, is that nobody would believe that the AI is intelligent unless AI really goes out of the way to convince everyone that it is intelligent.
