Not in the slightest. First, uploads are continuing conscious persons. Second, creating conscious persons is a problem if they might be created in uncomfortable or possibly hellish conditions - if, say, the AI was brute-forcing every decision it would simulate countless numbers of humans in pain before it found the least painful world. I do not think we would have a problem with the AI creating conscious persons in a good environment. I mean, we don't have that problem with parenthood.
What if it's researching pain qualia at ordinary levels because it wants to understand the default human experience?
I don't know if we're getting into eye-speck territory, but what are the ethics of simulating an adult human who's just stubbed their toe, and then ending the simulation?
I feel like the consequences are net positive, but I don't trust my human brain to correctly determine this question. I would feel uncomfortable with an FAI deciding it, but I would also feel uncomfortable with a person deciding it. It's just a hard question.
