Somewhat more interesting. I'm not sure about the brain in a vat threat-- I'm pulled between "that's really creepy if it's read literally-- is she trapped there?" and the tone of "this is lightweight humor, you're supposed to read it with most of your empathy turned off".
This is hardly an original thought, but I wonder how much work this does in ethical thought experiments.
