Well, it's a rather strange thought.
What on earth is a 'generic human brain'? It would seem that if it really is an uploaded mind, then it must be a particular mind, which wouldn't be generic at all.
The examples given sound like they could probably be done with simulating only regions, and so be akin to Blue Brain; it might be sensible to speak of regions as being generic (perhaps averages of lots of specific regions?).
It sounded in the article like it would be a really lo-fi upload, such that it wouldn't resemble the person uploaded much more than anyone else. But this is a valid point.
