I would think it would not lead to a transfer of consciousness and instead just make a copy of you. I recommend black mirror, it deals with one technological change (usually) and shows how it can be dystopian (usually, there are occasional happy endings). Each episode is standalone.

I'm hoping we get to the stage fairly soon that we can make AI with something like human consciousness and be able to study and understand it better. That stuff will probably start as a very crude model and get closer as both AI and brain science advance. I figure a way to avoid dystopian problems is to experiment and play around with it so you figure how it works. Most dystopian examples I've come across in real life have been very much driven by human behaviour rather than tech.

Yeah maybe black mirror but I'm not sure it's really my thing.
