worshipping (and you also know it's not the same kind of worship that imperials and chaos do) benevolent ancestors is not the same as worshipping the fuckers from warp.

When did say it was? my point is that the LoVs worshipping AI is unhealthy, even if that 'worship' is to a lesser extent than the Imperium/Chaos's, or the core's are perhaps materially more 'benevolent' to their worshippers, not that Chaos or the Imperium's relation to their own deities isn't also unhealthy

Chaos and other factions can have a healthier relation to AI that the LoV do, even if their relation to the whatever their non-AI deities are is even unhealthier, has been my point

Eldar soul do seem to very much resemble being uploaded to core.

Apart from the major distinction that in the 40k setting 'souls' do exist which have an immaterial ineffable quality that can't be transferred from one vessel to another through simple copying of a connectome, soulstones transfer this soul from a biological being to a semi-inorganic infinity circuit, Ancestor core's don't do something similar they copy brains rather than transfer souls

maybe Kyn souls are really being uploaded to the machine, some old human tech is really able to do it too, like the Proteus Protocol.

Again, maybe it's a function of time.

Possibly but that's complete speculation not even vaguely hinted at in even outdated canon

Also i don't recall UR-025 showing much "ambition or a desire to command" too, so maybe he also was "not able to truly experience their own emotions and drives"

'ambition or a desire to command' aren't the only emotions, If you want me to find some excerpts of his internal monologue say so, it'll take a while but not too long if you're adamant about me being wrong on this point. UR-025's internal monologue and the neutral third-person narrator describe his emotions as spontaneously occurring, rather than a deterministic response like those from a Ironkyn which even when simulating an emotion rather than cold pure logic is deterministic and non-spontaneous

As for the Proteus Protocol it ability to transfer spiritual consciousness in only rumoured from a couple of unreliable narrators in a couple of codexes/rulebooks and isn't even hinted to be related to the Votann's uploading tech(other than many Votann/Imperium technologies being based on the same STCs, it isn't confirmed), if it was fully explored in lore with a novel and was explicitly shown to transfer souls and connected to the LOVs uploading tech then I'd change my tune

maybe he developed feelings after at least 10000 years

The LoV splitting of from the bulk of humanity and been interacting with the cores for a similar if not longer amount of time, the initial what would become Squat colonisation compilations of STCs/cores happened before the rebellion of the men of iron. And possibly before even their creation(if the theories about Men of Stone being the Votann are true), if any Ironkyn haven't survived that long or haven't developed 'real' emotions that supports by point about there being an essential difference between Ironkyn and Men of Iron

I can recall three specifical true AI used by/allied with chaos forces: Kaban Engine, Castigator Titan and Tabula Myriad but neither of them was created by Chaos

I never said that Chaos were the first to discover Abominable Intelligence(however some among the humans(not the first race to do so) that would later become DM members) rather that they make use of fully sentient AI but it is not the ruler/deity of their faction

my point was that it did worked for Votann in-universe,

And the T'au's approach is working for them(an arguably Chaos's is as well as their faction as grown in power since the AdMech forbid research on AI and other technologies causing half of the Mechanicum to join Horus), that doesn't mean either approach to AI is better or intrinsically morally correct or healthier than the other
