No one can predict what an LLM will say in a given situation either, except by running it. No one can even predict what a double pendulum will do next. If anything makes emotions exclusive to us at all, it’s certainly not predictability.
Okay, semantics aside, my comment was getting at something else. I'm arguing against a certain kind of reductive viewpoint software peeps tend to indulge in.
I agree with that sentiment, I just don’t see OP making that kind of reductionist claim. They said emotions are algorithms, not that the algorithm is simple or even deterministic.
