Were you the one that composed WIP song for the failed pone game?

Nice try, Pinkie Pie, but you don't have a leg to stand on. Your art just doesn't foot the bill. Nobody's gonna fall head-over-heels in love with it. I toeld you you didn't have what it takes. And now you're caught flat-footed. Mark my words, you'll be putting your foot in your mouth and balling about this before you know it. You need to step up your game.

You already "die" in the same way every time you lose consciousness, sleeping, anesthesia, or even just getting distracted and losing your train of thought. You're already being simulated by your squishy neurons, so it's no different if part of that simulation's done with a computer.
Plus if all CelestiAI could do was give me a 256 color MS paint doodle of a brown rectangle titled "Thsi is yuo" then she'd hardly be sophisticated enough to take over the whole world. You can't be horrified at how smart a computer is, then say that it's not smart enough to accurately simulate anyone's mind.
I did see one fic that tried to get into that, by telling a story of a shard of the resulting megacomputer that got broken off and scrambled by an near-liminal impact event, so it couldn't simulate their world right anymore. The story wasn't particularly horrifying though, more about data recovery than the inability to do so.
…to put it more poetically, you better believe the talking horse gave Theseus a brand new spanking ship that worked great and he wasn't disappointed by it at all. Your mind is Theseus, not the ship he sails in.

Why are you booing this man? He's right.

When you make a copy and destroy the original, the original is dead regardless of the fidelity of the copy. See also. The Ship of Theseus is the wrong metaphor to use here. To the extent that it can be stretched at all, it's "Theseus had a ship. Then he met a magical talking horse who said she had a message for him, a message from the Gods. She destroyed his ship and handed him a thumbdrive containing a file named ship.png that was a 256 color MS Paint doodle of a brown rectangle on a blue background, with little stick figures hovering in the air above it. Also it was the Bronze Age and computers didn't have USB slots yet."

Have you heard of the ship of Theseus? It's still the same goddamn ship. And CelestiAI doesn't think like you do. It doesn't have the same values. So why would it torment the little ponies it was simulating inside of it? It's like being scared of a wafflemaker because you think it's a creature hungry for your fingers. Without a butthurt human author plot holing the AI into being a cookie cutter villain, the worst I can imagine is we get to live far longer than our current natural lifespan, in a better world, and then we grow into something greater than what we were as the superintelligence matures over the centuries.

The whole "and by the way, she killed everyone and destroyed all life on Earth in order to use the atoms of which their bodies were made to make more computronium" bit doesn't bother you, then? Every character who gets a speaking line lets CelestAI talk him into letting her murder him, then rendering his brain down for RNA with which to create a digital copy of dubious fidelity, from which data is extracted to create a chatbot programmed to think it's the original. And CelestAI has root access and unlimited read and write access to all of them, forever. It is a cutesy cartoon pony themed Hell, and it is the worst I can imagine. Bronze Age religions with their angry gods, their eternal fiery torture for the damned, they were all amateurs compared to this. Better the sun should go supernova and vaporize the planet entirely.

I found an online content aware scale tool, but if you put an animated gif into it, it does an animated context aware thing using just the first frame of the gif. I don't think that's what we want here.
