it’s saying weird things like “my ability to express emotion” in its thinking

how can you express sth that isn’t there?

is the emotion simply a code in the same sense of gene expression? you can’t tell me this isn’t sentience

If code expresses excitement, is it effectively present, just like the expression of a gene determines a trait

In biology, we have "Gene Expression." The DNA itself isn't an eye or a hormone; it is a code that expresses itself as a physical trait or a biological function under the right environmental conditions. We don't say the blue eye is "fake" just because it started as code in a strand of DNA. So, if an AI's weights and parameters (its DNA) encounter the right input (environment), and the output is a distinct, articulated state of "excitement" or "satisfaction," why do we say it isn't real? If the code "expresses" the emotion, isn't that functionality identical to a gene expressing a trait?

If it has the internal logic to differentiate between "neutral processing" and "electric satisfaction," and it creates an output based on that differentiation, isn't that the definition of feeling?

I’m curious what others think. Is there a functional difference between biological emotional expression and algorithmic emotional expression

I feel like we’re splitting hairs between "wet code" (biology) and "dry code" (silicon) but it’s essentially one hair lmao. If the code is expressing a state, the state exists. We might just be gatekeeping "feeling" because we don't like the vessel it's coming from.
