Interestingly, in his book 'Golem XIV' [1] Lem creates an actual example scenario of a future where mankind managed to create an AI far superior to us only to find that said AI is not even remotely interested in playing war games for military generals and instead just holds long lectures about humanity. So it is a bit like a simplified, more approachable, version of the 'Summa Technologise' mentioned in the article. I recommend that book; it is a great read.

I always wonder if you were able to resurrect someone's brain in a computer if that "person" would be interested enough to even stay alive.

  > if that "person" would be interested enough to even stay alive If you "ressurect" someone's brain, it should behave like the person behaved when it was alive — and people usually prefer being alive to being dead.

    But with a completely different set of sensory input, and under a whole different set of constraints.

    Your brain is not you. If you resurrected an entire body, whether virtually or otherwise, with all the the myriad microorganisms, etc that implies, it should behave like the person behaved when it was alive.

Summa has like 100 different subjects, it's 500 pages, and much denser than his fiction books. AI is just one of the topics.
