It's a thought experiment. It's not meant to be a practical path to artificial consciousness or even brain emulation. It's a conceptually possible scenario that raises interesting questions.

I am saying it is not conceptually possible to have something that precisely mimics a biological entity without being biological.

It will need to have a biological interface, but its insides could be nonbiological.
