Intelligence

I've just read an article in Time magazine about the rapidly increasing volume and speed of artificial intelligence. Computers have passed the intelligence of a mouse, passed the intelligence of a human in specialised areas, like playing chess. The hypothesis is that humans don't need to die. It is projected that by 2045, (unfortunately I won't be around), you will be able to , in effect download yourself into a machine. This strikes me as very attainable. We are, after all , just a series of electrical impulses in a biological computer. What's wrong with artificial computer? That's all we are. A complicated arrangement of electrical impulses- whether that exists in a 98.4°F squishy , wet , wriggly thing or in a motherboard/mainframe/curcuit board- who cares!
I'm all for it! I've often thought a USB in the back of the neck would solve a lot of problems!
