How would you transfer consciousness from one carrier to another without breaking it at some point?

It wasn't an argument, it was uncertainty over whether you and that user were serious.
Assuming you are serious then why do you believe there's something extra tying together each moment of brain activity that could ever be carried over or not carried over in the first place?

there's nothing extra, I just think you can substitute the chemical process of consciousness with an electrical process. I don't know if it works, since anything of the sort is theoretical

What exactly do you think you could be "disturbing" or "killing?" How would what you're proposing be any different from just getting the information you need for the digital medium and then turning it on without bothering to do all that work you're suggesting should be done to keep from "disturbing" something?

that's bad wording on my part. Since consciousness is an ongoing chemical process, if you stop that process you end your consciousness (brain death) which kills you. I didn't mean to word it like there's some kind of supernatural power behind it.

>if you stop that process you end your consciousness (brain death) which kills you
Do you think killing someone before turning on the artificial version would be any different for the end result from slowly copying over one neuron at a time?
I don't think there would be any difference because I don't believe there's anything real you'd be preserving by doing the latter approach.

I have no clue, I believe it'd be the most likely to, but there's a huge chance that it wouldn't, it's be cool to test on animals, but actually transferring a consciousness from a chemical medium to a digital medium is a super unknown field of research

All you have to do is give the "consciousness" the same memories and similar brain chemistry as the last and it will think it's the same consciousness. But it won't actually be the same. The idea of having a constant unbroken consciousness is an illusion because it changes every time your brain changes. You're an infinite series of different consciousnesses each one thinking they're an identical copy of the last when in reality they're different.

Furthermore, if I deleted all the atoms that made up you and made two identical copies of you at the same time each copy would think and feel that they were the same consciousness that had just been deleted. Ergo the idea of an unbroken consciousness isn't real. Certain brain injuries make people think they are different consciousnesses. It's all a question of how similiar one consciousness is to another so that it feels as though it's an unbroken stream instead of different changing consciousnesses.
