Love computers

Love/Hate is the thing which is the core motivator for decisions in us as human beings. Thus, if the AI guys are going to crack the creativity problem they must come up with a way to replicate these philosophies/spiritualities in a mechanism. I can understand modelling emotional response as a procedure, but surely this is fundamentally different from modelling emotional experience which by its nature can not be described due to the mediation of the construct of the communication form being used. The only way to resolve this problem is to deny that emotion exists separately from the communication construct employed. This would mean that I am my communication.

Eventually I would of course agree with this statement in the same way that I consider truth to be a relative quantity. The only question remains what we consider to be the target of these relative measurements. As a Christian I consider this to be God/Christ... however, this implies that I love only to the extent that my response is characterised by the love that God exhibits.
