I guess we call emotions 'feelings' because we feel them - ie. we can
feel the effect they trigger in our whole body, detected via our internal
monitoring of physical body condition.
Given this, unless AGIs are also programmed for thoughts or goal
satisfactions to trigger 'physical' and/or other forms of systemic
reaction, I suppose their emotions will have a lot less 'feeling' depth to
them than humans and other biological species experience.
