Making a brain is what we want to do to solve our resource problems, and help us to focus on the things we care about.
We didn't understand birds - but we didn't duplicate them either. I would draw an analogy between duplicating a specific brain and duplicating specific bird. We learned how to fly a while back - but we still don't know where to begin on the project of making a specific bird.
Hmm, learning to fly without replicating a specific bird is analogous to the problem of general AI. This discussion thread started with a claimed analogy between chip simulation and mind uploading, which is more the problem of replicating a specific bird. If I claimed to be able to upload your mind, then proceeded to scan or mince your brain, and then showed your relatives a general AI, they would be unimpressed.
Sure. On the other hand if you show manufacturers, engineers or governments a general AI then some major changes happen - and those are the folk who are most likely to cough up for the required R&D.
Possibly those changes might ultimately include the human brain being scanned and emulated - but chronological order seems as though it may be significant here.
