Agreed
--- we tend to project even abstract experiences back down to our physical
layer, and then react to them physically ... a kind of analogy that AGI's are
unlikely to pursue so avidly unless specifically designed to do
so

Subject: RE: [agi] AGI's and emotions> Emotions ARE thoughts but they differ from most thoughts in the extent> to which they involve the "primordial" brain AND the non-neural> physiology of the body as well.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.Cheers, Philip
