Please.
You know it doesn’t experience joy, surprise or empathy too. You absolutely, undoubtedly know that.

Agreed. I don't even know if you, or anyone else, feels joy. Maybe I'm the only person in the world with qualia. I certainly can't prove otherwise.
But with what I know of people and what I know of matrix multiplication, I have a strong suspicion.
