This is an interesting concept since researchers really aren’t sure how consciousness in humans and animals even happens. We just don’t know.
Feelings could be theoretically be possible in artificial intelligence. We really don’t know enough about the subject to say either way.
- ly3xqhl8g9 4y agoSure, "feeling" is rather ineffable and plenty of ink and bits have flown trying to fixate it. Taking it down a notch, you can probably put it as a very strong dichotomy like-dislike. I know my dog has some proto-feelings because he really likes belly rubs and he really dislikes pulling his tail. Nevertheless, there is probably something akin to the Weber–Fechner law [1] through which "feelings" will be disambiguated. And when that happens, we might discover it was us who have been artificial from the start: biochemistry being merely ridiculously advanced technology, indistinguishable from magic as the saying goes, by comparison with our rusty transistors.
