Fair enough. I guess I don't like the idea though of trying to use human emotional behavior as the goal. Who wants a computer not in the mood to do its work, or committing suicide? It's interesting, sure, but how useful would a computer being offing itself be. Suppose ACME AI sold a software engine to somebody who embedded it in a robot, but the robot jumped off a skyscraper?
This is just being a bit silly, of course, but it seems like it would good to set some limits on how much like "human level reasoning" we are really after.
