And then, yeah, then in that respect, I do think that even without the embodied intelligence part, without having ever experienced what it's like to be heartbroken, the sort of guttural feeling of misery that that system, I could still attribute it

traits of human feelings and emotions.

If you look at longevity, and if you look at happiness, and if you look at late life well-being,

The love of another human is one of the strongest indicators of health into long life.

And I have many, many countless stories where as soon as the romantic partner of 60 plus years of a person dies, within three, four months, the other person dies.

just like losing their love.

I think the concept of being able to satisfy that emotional need that humans have, even just as a mental health sort of service, to me, that's a very good society.

It doesn't matter if your love is wasted, quote unquote, on a machine,

It is, you know, the placebo, if you wish, that makes the patient better anyway.

Like there's nothing behind it, but just the feeling that you're being loved will probably engender all of the emotional attributes of that.

The other story that I want to say in this whole concept of faking, and maybe I'm a terrible dad, but I was asking my kids, I was asking my kids, I'm like, does it matter if I'm a good dad or does it matter if I act like a good dad?

In other words, if I give you love and shelter and kindness and warmth and all of the above, does it matter that I'm a good dad?

Conversely, if I deep down love you to the end of eternity, but I'm always gone,

Which dad would you rather have?

The cold, ruthless killer that will show you only love and warmth and nourish you and nurture you?

Or the amazingly warmhearted but works five jobs and you never see them?

The fact that I'm even asking the question basically says, it's not enough to love my kids.

I better freaking be there to show them that I'm there.

So basically, of course, you know, everyone's a good guy in their story.

So in my story, I'm a good dad.
