Can you adapt to environmental changes as quickly as bacteria or plants? Can you survive without bacteria or plants? You might reconsider your definition/understanding of learning, which is fundamentally the feedback, memory and translation of information, which is done very well by these organisms. This is also accomplished, without computation, through resonance, which can occur non-locally. Can AI do this.

So if I die and all my memories are on a flash drive what happens if you write down all the info on paper, (theoretically) then erase the flash drive memory and then reupload again from paper? do I resurrect? obviously no, because it doesn't count if my memory is on a usb drive, I'd be dead anyways.
