Jiri:If your code has feelings it reports then reversing the order of the
feeling strings (without changing the logic) should magically turn its
pain into pleasure and vice versa, right?
The notions above - common in discussions here - are so badly in error.
*Codes don't have emotions.
*Computers don't have emotions
*You need a body to have emotions
*Computers don't have bodies - unless you are talking about robots.
*Emotions involve changing energy levels - they are arousals or depressions
of the system
*Computers don't have changing energy levels (though they could)
*Codes & computers don't have feelings
*To have a feeling, a system has to have a self that decides to what extent
to feel the emotions - and which of two or more conflicting emotions to feel
more
*Your AGI systems don't have selves (though they could).
*Your systems don't have emotional conflicts (though they could).
IOW why not just talk about Harry Potter's emotional flying pigs? It would
be more grounded than the above discussion.
