Reply to comment by SoundTracx in Would the most sentient ai ever actually experience emotion or does it just think it is? Is the thinking strong enough to effectively be emotion? by wonderingandthinking
No, emotions aren't emergent from intelligence, consider psychopaths, usually very intelligent - but unable to process emotions as most of humanity. Most psychopaths don't know they are until they're diagnosed, and so have no idea they are essentially emulating others. I would still agree that psychopaths are both sentient and concious, despite the emotional area of their brains being turned off.

Psychopaths do experience emotion. It is not as simple as "the emotional area in their brains being turned off".

Nothing with brains is ever simple, but yes I was vastly over simplifying
