No, I think that because there's no evidence whatsoever that Deep Blue etc have

The Japanese, especially for some reason, are doing some pretty amazing stuff 
with emotional intelligence for robots… robots that can read human emotions and 
expressions and discern human feelings and also mimic human emotions as well. 
Are these “true” feelings. What is a “true” feeling I ask then?

Just because we experience it… is that the only metric of “trueness”?


I think action is the measure of true feeling.  Even people sometimes say they 
feel X while acting as though they feel Y.  That's why I think the ability of 
robots to act on values is what will provide them feelings.

Feelings, emotions etc. are multi-layered and sometimes even contradictory – 
one can have opposing feelings about someone or something – both love and hate, 
admiration and despise… etc.  can exist in tandem and at once. Perhaps the 
subtle perception we experience of having sentient feeling is the result of a 
deeply layered emotional programming with a large number of hidden 
(pre-conscious) processes competing perhaps (as has been hypothesized – the 
mental zombies) for attention of the brain’s consensus focus. What we perceive 
as our poetic subtle living reality could be the result of this overlaying of 
many layers (of occasionally opposing) proto-feelings, generated by different 
dynamic neural firing networks, of which we are for the most part completely 
unaware of on a conscious level.
