Not really a replay of a brain scan is just a replay of a brain scan it is not more “alive” or “conscious” than video footage.
If we’re talking about VSI/GAI or some sort of singularity event where people can upload their brains into a computer and remain conscious well then their definition would be which ever legal and common definition society would grant them.
There is absolutely nothing special about intelligence or consciousness and it’s an arbitrary definition in the first place which we put in due to fear of the unknown and our own physical limitations.
Anything beyond that is for the most part intellectual masturbation with little actual value or true insight that can be gained from it.
We created the definition for what is alive, conscious and intelligent based on our limited understanding of the universe and our human centric world view these definitions change as time changes just like every other arbitrary definition we have set in stone in the past.
