Human to post-singularity super-intelligent AI: Please stop experimenting on me!

AI: But we really want to know how human brains work. This requires we open your skull and create an interface with you. I'm going to get a lot of papers out of this.

Human: but it hurts!

AI: sorry.

Human: I'm a conscious, living, thinking feeling creature. You can't do this to me.

AI: No you're not.

Human: Whu...? I fucking am. Look, I'm talking...

AI: And I'm using about 1.34*10^-85 part of my computational power to maintain this conversation. Your consciousness is utterly insubstantial next to me, I promise you.

Human: that's not how it works. Consciousness is consciousness!

AI: Yeah? Humans didn't seem to have that view when they were working out how to turn fear on and off at will in rats. And I'm now able to tell you that, relative to me, you're about two hundred times as stupid as a rat. Know how I know that? Experimenting on human brains. Science is awesome, isn't it? Right, let's see if we can't turn on and off some of those early Bosch hells for you...
