I do think the impact of emotions on our thinking is understated, but I also think that focusing on this aspect is going at it backwards. A value system is necessary for emotions, otherwise happy and sad mean nothing. I think this is what you mean when you talk about "modeling emotions". At the same time, some intelligence seems like a prerequisite as blindly following a value system will lead to massive hedonistic AI orgies. Er, I mean, an override mechanism is required, and intelligence is the best possible solution, so we're back at the fundamental problem. I think there is a lot more intelligence behind even our most primitive urges than we realize. Hope that made sense, typing on mobile.

There are certain machines already better than humans(any other life form) in physical tasks — why do we need to have human intelligence as the base scale to measure machine intelligence? I mean, the early man didn’t create his tools to compete with human nails.
- flatline 8y ago> A value system is necessary for emotion I think a value system is mostly a post hoc justification of our emotional states. I view emotions as primarily a tight biochemical feedback loop. Think more of the four “f”s than, say, platonic feelings of love.
- taurath 8y agoI think it’s the opposite - they come from innate chemical values (procreation, socialization, base metabolic needs) and emotions are created upwards from reaction to stimuli as it pertains to those values. Maybe we’re saying the same thing, but the starting point is important as it pertains to any artificial intelligence being able to be created.
