BillK, this is only one of many mysteries inherent in the notion of AI.  We
know how our emotional systems work, sort of.  But we do not know how a
machine based emotional system might work.  Actually even this is a comical
overstatement.  We don't really know how our emotional systems work.

girlfriends - because of their obsession with computer games?

OK, suppose we get computer based intelligence.  Then our computer game will
dump our asses because it thinks we have an obsession with our girlfriends.
Then without girl or a computer, we have absolutely nothing to do.  We need
to develop an AI that is not only friendly, but is tolerant of our
mistresses.  That daunting software task makes friendly AI look simple.
