Intuition is just latent data processing, can be done by machines.

Feeling is a steering of the processing, I don't really see how it will help you accumulate power, resources or status compared to just processing.

Well.. that part is simple, technically speaking. Being able to make others feel can override their processing. But, as other posters noted above, that is just advertising and politics.

  • I see, I mean from an extrinsic transactional perspective where you are an actor in the world to exploit and be exploited, you're right.

    From a perspective where latent thinking and feelings are put against the machine and the goal is resource and power accumulation, I don't think so.

    • Maybe. In some potential future variant, where machine's will is law AND, this is important, humans have no real standing, you are probably correct. That said, that assumes a lot of interesting changes in how we operate in general including at least temporary introduction of mediators, whose sole job it is keep other humans at arms length ( ie. no other human to confide in ). Again, not impossible.. I am just not certain this is the path.
