Why in the world? I would deeply hope that it would be so
considerate! *Everyone* would be better off uploaded (if
the AI is so nice to do so), whether they realize it or not.
At *very least* the AI provides you a life indistinguishable
from what you currently have, but with no chance of halting,
and probably many fewer red lights on your way to work.
