[ExI] ai emotions

[William Flynn Wallace]

If you watch TV, you may have seen the commercial with the athletic robot,
who hits golf balls, etc., then stops outside a bar and watches the people
drink, and then slumps as if to say 'that's what I really want -
companionship'.

If you have seen it, did you feel anything for the robot at all?  A bit of
pity, perhaps?

Clearly that was intended.  Was it successful?

This is only the very beginning of programming the AIs to elicit responses
in us.
