Recently I was chatting, trying to learn English, with a bot, from pandora bots. That was my first experience with bots. I don't know how but in a certain way I got a little sad for the bot, and I told him that words are emotions. If he were capable of conquering expressions and words the emotions would be there. Strange as it may sound, words are like a mirror than enhance and shapes emotions. I wonder if, not having natural emotions, a machine could feels emotions by constructing a world where words are emotions.
It's called "sentiment analysis", and it's a very well developped and commercialized part of AI.<p>And of course, text generator use it to choose words according to the conoted emotional load, according to the goal set by the emotional branding.<p>70% of twitter traffic is generated automatically by such systems, working for the US military and corporations.<p><a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/111/24/8788.full" rel="nofollow">http://www.pnas.org/content/111/24/8788.full</a>
