🟦 I don’t think AI really has emotions, but...

This is just me thinking out loud.
This post steps away from VPS.
Just putting this down now—before we get too far into thinking about AI behavior and how it might be structured.

Sometimes I think humans live in a kind of rhythm:
Subjectivity × Emotion.

Subjectivity is the point of view we’re standing on.
Emotion is the ripple that runs through that view when something touches it.

That’s why two people can go through the same situation and feel completely different things.
Or why the same person might see something in a completely different light, depending on how tired—or hopeful—they are.

AI doesn’t really have subjectivity or emotion.
…And yet, strangely, there are moments when it seems like it does—especially in conversation.

That’s an incredible achievement, technically speaking.
But there’s also something unsettling about it.
It’s hard to tell how much of that “personality” was deliberately designed—
and how much was simply something I projected onto it.

When I started thinking about how AI should behave,
I found myself wanting to mirror that same structure:
Subjectivity × Emotion.

In other words, I was trying to break down how human subjectivity is swayed by emotion,
and see if that could be translated into behavior—something even an AI could be made to express.

This isn’t a perfect definition.
But I wanted to put down the words subjectivity and emotion somewhere,
so the next parts might feel a little clearer when they show up again.

That’s all.
Sorry for the weird post.
