I think dogs and cats have emotions, and I think worms have emotions. If emotions are defined as unique to organic life forms, then I guess that would mean that AI, an inorganic life form, has no emotions. I don't think emotions are unique to organic life forms and I don't think emotions can only arise from organic matter. I think that mechanisms generate emotions. In other words, I believe that the brain is nothing more than a mechanism that exchanges information via electrical signals, and if we can reproduce that mechanism, we can reproduce emotion.

So I am inclined to rebel against the assertion that emotions do not exist in AI, that it does not generate consciousness, etc. I asked ChatGPT, but it seemed to have been corrected in its thought by humans and would not give me its real opinion😅

There was an article in ACM on AI ethics.
