I wouldn't say yes to him. He thinks your brain doesn't need to
function. He might substitute a rock.
If "your" goal is to survive, that might work. If your "goal" is to
complete your mission nearby, that might not work, especially from the
point of view of the observers.
A machine with the cognitive ability sufficient to bet genuinely on an
artificial digital brain can understand we don't really need one to
survive.
But then the question is "who are you?", really.
