The “I” is not the brain, the “I” is a part of the brain, which cannot function properly without the rest of the brain. Just like the brain cannot properly function without the rest of the body, or a hypothetical simulated body.
So rather: the brain is not us, but we are a part the brain.
So “we” are not our brains
If you want to see how weird it can get look at blightsight. Your consciousness can be blind but your body can still react to visual stimulus.

“We” don’t exist, or rather “we” don’t know what makes us “us”, except for what we do know. Consciousness isn’t fully understood.
This feels closer to the truth.
Exactly, tried to argue this point many times. You are not a brain with a body, you are a body with a brain!!!
Only if you think an iceberg is not an iceberg.
