"Hate" and "Love" are complex things that are very ingrained into human nature. For an AI or robot to have these things, it would essentially have to emulate or implement a human mind. Such a thing is currently very far beyond our current technology level, and arguably isn't even a goal of many AI projects. Most AI systems like ChatGPT are basically glorified autocomplete. They are given an input and use complex maths and probabilities to predict what a human would respond to it. They don't have any understanding about what they are talking about.

I think if an AI were able to hate or love, it would raise complicated and perhaps uncomfortable questions about what it means to be "human". Can a system that perfectly replicates human emotions and experiences, not be considered human itself?
