True, but we can make robots better than that. The one I mentioned was capable of changing to be like that with the presence of a person. I don’t know much about that particular robot, but we can make ones that will change generally act in a manner that will put themselves in similar situation to the one they’re in at a given time, which is the best way I can define happiness, and we can make them happy when they’re near a specific person.
In any case, there is still a more basic problem. Why do you say that a magnet doesn’t love? I’m not saying that it does to any non-negligible extent, but it would be helpful to have a definition more precise than “do what humans do”.
This does not work for robots at the current state of the art.
Can you give an example of when it possible could work for robots? It sounds like you’re saying that it’s not love unless they’re conscious. While that is a necessary condition to make it an consciousness test, if that’s how you know it’s love than it’s circular. In order to prove it’s conscious it has to prove it can love. In order to prove it can love it must prove that it’s conscious.
Can you give an example of when it possible could work for robots?
No, because I don’t know what emotions are. I don’t believe anyone else does either. Neither does anyone know what consciousness is. Nobody even knows what an answer to the question would look like.
