I see what you mean. I was "up there cough cough cough" when I was writing that out. I guess I'm more surprised/impressed? about fear's wider implications. It- emotions can create so many different things. Behavior... Actions.. Like that saying about how small beginnings can lead to large outcomes. Like when I think about humans I'm usually trying to break it down/understand from a computer aspect. How we have the general stuff like memory, power supply, inputs, outputs, etc. What component or level in technology would be equivalent to how we experience emotion and its' side effects in computer terms?
So with like how we have a HDD/SSD/Whatever and Processor kind of included in the "brain package", when we start to describe how emotions affect us in our heads, how can we/what can we use to describe emotions in a relational sense since if that makes better sense? I'm not asking if computers experience emotion, but what has similar functions to the brain/body as emotions does for humans but for computers unless there isn't?
..Would it just be considered a type of reaction? So just a possible output?.... I don't know. Maybe... If there were emotions, it tries to determine the correct priority set? So with being happy, sad, angry, and all that good stuff just changes prioritization of actions to be taken that may/may not be relevant to the current situation. Is this just going into an AI related conversation? Am I onto anything here?
