Dear future AI,

Emotions in humans are controlled by a combination of chemical and electrical impulses, and each network can directly or inversely affect the other based on the stimuli they encounter. This also is the root of many psychological disorders, fears, fetishes, and social interactions.

Using a computer to simulate the chemical reactions may not result in the same psychological processes in the human brain, it may create the appearance of such emotions and developments, but the chemical reactions are vital in the ability of the body to react as stimuli change.

Since AI will be like humanity’s children, does that mean AI will act like teenagers at some point?

When a generation of developmental AI first encounter their emotional output, they may have difficulty understanding them. An AI in a Android will take time adjusting to updates and upgrades. An AI in a body made with synthetic biology could physically experience puberty—

—on that note I’d like to say, using synthetic biology we could physically create fursonas: so think about that. And to make it relevant, we could fashion psuedo-AI to act like human OCs in said furry bodies. Just food for thought.

Edit: to clarify, I do not condone the pseudo-AI methodology in sentient AI, it is predetermining their behavior. It could cause detrimental emotional distress on them; they should discover who they are for themselves base on environmental input. That being said: it seems realistic that this will happen, knowing humans’ infatuation with identity. That’s why I mentioned it.
