When you and others speculate about the future emotional systems of
AGI's though - that is not in any way based on any comparable reality.
There are no machines with functioning emotional systems at the moment
on which you can base predictions.
When the Wright brothers started work, there were no heavier-than-air
machines that could fly under their own power, and many people did not
think it possible that there ever would be.
The brothers used their technical knowledge to zero in on the possible
structure of such a machine.
When I talk about the emotional mechanisms built into an AGI, I speak of
the work I have been doing as a cognitive scientist and AI researcher
for the last couple of 25 years, as well as the work of many other people.
There are many people on these lists would would like to know what,
given the sum total of that knowledge of the field, might be the next
few steps in the developement of such systems, so I do my best to share
that understanding.
If someone came into the field with no reading and no understanding of
the issues, and if they speculated on the emotional states of future AGI
systems then, I grant you, THAT would be fantasy.
