Isn’t there a bible verse about that?

Along the lines of “they will ache for death, but it will never come for them”?

I have the mind of Christ, and I can look forward to life eternal. So says The Book!

We are all "living" in some super-beings simulation already. So we are already there.

Of course, your own AI land can suffer glitches...

I think you miss the point.

if a human brain can be emulated than it would not be AI it would be “I”

We are riding the exponential curve of Tech and most people have no clue
