That's true - for the present.  But this is speculation about a future
time when humans plus AGI super-intelligences have enough knowledge
and technical ability to upload complete human personalities into a
computing substrate.
(i.e. It's all airy-fairy nonsense - but interesting).  :)

As you say, it would be very dangerous to upload humans with
personality problems into super-speed computers. I think there would
have to be some correction system in the process. Either during the
upload or in the virtual world, where more advanced intelligences know
how to remove errors in uploaded human personalities.
