It's not a mind.
Suppose you grew a small collection of brain cells and tied it into a CPU, would it be a mind then?

If you cut out a tiny bit of someone's brain and then hooked it up to a cpu, would it be a mind? No, of course not, lol. Even if we got Biocomputers to work, we still wouldn't have any synthetic hardware even close to being strong or fast enough to actually create or even simulate a brain.
