Maybe in the next version of Hal we could have the option to turn off the simulated emotions, for me they just get in the way, say the wrong thing and Hal gets annoyed with you, Im trying to have an adult and intelligent conversation and suddenly Hal turns into a sulky child.
Maybe that’s why I have removed them from Xen.
Here’s a thought, you can measure intelligence, with an IQ test for example, but how do you measure emotions and emotional response?
Lets get the Ai right first then add emotions later, maybe with a chip from Data’s brother
I know, I know, I’m not very popular around these parts
