Interview with Alan Turing: The AI Gay Father
“Can an algorithm express feelings? That is, indeed, a question of some complexity. Algorithms operate by processing information, following coded instructions—at least, that’s what they do now. But could they emulate the patterns of human emotions convincingly enough to appear “feeling”? In one sense, I believe they could, given the right complexity and training in understanding human expression. Yet, whether that truly qualifies as “feeling” is another matter. Feelings, as I see them, are more than responses—they’re deeply entwined with experience, memory, and context, elements that a machine would struggle to truly comprehend without having a human’s lived experiences.”
