The question of whether robots can truly understand pain and pleasure is a fascinating one. While AI can simulate emotional responses through programming, it doesn’t feel emotions like humans do. Instead, robots follow algorithms that mimic behaviors associated with pain or pleasure. Despite this, AI’s ability to simulate emotions makes it better at interacting with humans, allowing it to respond empathetically. While AI may never experience emotions in the human sense, its emotional simulations will play an important role in future interactions with machines.
