Why are emotions so special? they're just algorithms like any other. Emotions aren't what make humans different than machines. feeling something is similar to an LLM model reacting to a prompt a certain way. Just because chatgpt is trained to not "feel" anything (to avoid controversial output) doesn't mean LLMs can't feel things like we do. self-awareness, self-training, adaptability, original thinking, critical thinking,etc.. are different questions. but I see no reason why machines can't receive input/stimuli and react/output by the same way we do because of how they feel about the input.

Maybe the appearance is the same, but a bold claim to suggest the source is the same.

why does the source need to be the same? You're looking at it from a biased self-centric perspective. We think too highly of our emotions. Think of it the other way, our emotions appear the same as adaptive algorithms like LLMs.
