Thanks for the contribution. I'd say "yes" to your last question. This sounds somewhat related to those AI programmers who feel they somehow have to add "emotions" to their AI to make them behave more like humans. All they are really adding are simulations of emotions, in the hope they are appropriate. I see emotions more as quantifiers to experiences; by adding or subtracting emotions, such experiences, and truths, become either more (or less) true, more (or less) part of the constructed mental reality. I think what many think of when discussing emotions is "emotional behaviour", but that's just a visible extreme, there are many small emotions that flicker every time we think of something.

The idea of emotions and A.I. is interesting. Emotions in humans are an evolved adaptive traits that serve very distinct functions. In A.I. they are implanted simulations, mostly to make them appear more human and thus more relateable to humans. It's interesting to think about
