"But they would subscribe to the idea that it's a person. Just not the same person as the one he's based upon." Perhaps he's projecting because that's his thinking; the AI for all its similarities to Tony, doesn't quite feel like the same person. Maybe if he weren't a disembodied voice speaking to him from a projection or possessing the Iron Man suit, he'd have an easier time believing that this was Tony, just in a separate body. But his heels are dug firmly into the ground. The two of them are separate entities. When Tony died, he was dead; this AI would not replace him, no matter how similar the two of them were.
