This just boils down to "what do I expect to experience in the future?" which I don't see as being related to "personal identity".

Forget the phrase "personal identity". If I am a powerful AI from the future and I come back to tell you that I will run a simulation of you so we can go bowling together, do you or do you not expect to experience bowling with me in the future, and why?

Yes, with probability P(simulation), or no, with probability P(not simulation), depending.
