The “I” is not the brain, the “I” is a part of the brain, which cannot function properly without the rest of the brain. Just like the brain cannot properly function without the rest of the body, or a hypothetical simulated body.

“We” don’t exist, or rather “we” don’t know what makes us “us”, except for what we do know. Consciousness isn’t fully understood.
Only if you think an iceberg is not an iceberg.
Exactly, tried to argue this point many times. You are not a brain with a body, you are a body with a brain!!!
This feels closer to the truth.
