I think true AIs would be no more or less deserving of the love of their creator than the real people. Now maybe the programmer running the genetic training algorithm has no love for the AIs and then you're right, it wouldn't really fit. But what if the programmer did love then? What if, in fact, the programmer was a true AI herself, having gone through a similar experience and was proven moral, loving, and capable enough to do this job. How hard would it be for her to love them? Yes, turtles all the way down and all that but what about turtles most of the way down? Seems like a reasonable way to train more AIs.
