Every cell in your body gets replaced by the time it's 7 years old. You're currently a copy of your old self. No reason such an ever changing system could not adapt to a synthetic mind and body gradually. I do not believe that the old "you" would die at all.

This just is not true. Although there is evidence of neurogenesis in certain areas of the brain, many of our other neurons live as along as we do unless they are destroyed. Neurogenesis is not the complete “replacement” of old neurons for new ones.
I did not know that neurogenesis happened in adult brains at all until I read you comment and went to pull an article to show you that we don’t make new neurons. But I was wrong. We do. We just keep the old ones too.
So thank you.

This. Consciousness is “wireless” even though wireless in technical terms is still wired but just invisible to our eye. Switching between one body and the other would basically feel like your switching places with your clone. For example: You change channels on a TV. You break your iphone and that data is still in the cloud (main menu), the same logic can be applied to a mechanical suit that has a brain. Think of the wiring as the membranes, like plant roots, veins . If Siri and Alexa switched bodies, it would still appear to us observers that they didn’t switch bodies. We wouldn’t be able to tell apart once we start putting exoskeletons in sex dolls. We would need a scanner to verify who is human or an AI. Biological clones and Machine clones can very much look alike on the outside, but very much different on the inside.
