Well, chatbots already demonstrate empathy with humans.
See:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuki_AI>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replika>
<https://woebothealth.com/>
<https://appadvice.com/app/mila-ai-assistant-chatbot/1663672156>
<https://www.x2ai.com/individuals>
and more........

These chatbots talk to humans about their feelings and problems, and
sympathise with them.
The Replika reviews have people falling in love with their chatbot.
Obviously, the bots don't *feel* empathy, but their words express
empathy and greatly assist humans with emotional issues.

So we are back to the old problem -
Is the bot really 'human' or just pretending to be 'human'?  :)
