The author has also written a short horror story about simulated intelligence which I highly recommend: https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

Yess, that's a good one. It made me rethink my "sure I'd get scanned" plans, and put me in the "never allow my children to do that" camp. Extremely creepy.

What harm is there to the person so copied?

Well you should read the story and find out some thoughts! QNTM refers to some people who think there's no harm, and some who do. It's short and great.

The harm is on the copies more so than the copied person.
