I don't think there will ever be an upload. That "AI boom" is nothing more than the capability to train very large networks, and (that's indeed a first) a recurrent one. But it doesn't resemble our way of being and thinking. But your variation makes it pertinently clear that it's not "us" who's going to visit those planets, but something else entirely. And why would we need a "super habitable" planet if we're just electrons in a few chips, anyway (ignoring the fact that electronics tends to die in 20 to 30 years of use, but hey)?
