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.

>Why are emotions so special?

Because TV and movies have constantly drilled into most peoples minds since an early age that human emotion is a magical transcendent force that only humans can understand.

Basically people let English lit majors turned screen writers dictate their worldview.
