You think that it isn’t possible to have an emotional model of a human? Why, because you think it is too complex?

Empathy done well seems like 1:1 mapping at an emotional level, but that doesn’t imply to me that it couldn’t be done at a different level of modeling. Empathy can be done poorly, and then it is projecting.



It has not only been possible to simulate empathetic interaction via computer systems, but proven to be achievable for close to sixty years[0].

I don’t think it’s possible for 1s and 0s to feel… well, anything.
