alt Hacker NewsIs this not how children learn emotions from their parents? Pattern matching from all the absorbed snippets.
I'd be interested to see how well an AI, trained only on the outputs of an individual, would be able to mimic that individual. Getting into Black Mirror territory. Would need a decent corpus of learning material which, personally, I'd be loathe to spend the time and effort creating because I respect my own privacy.... which then leads to the only human-clone AIs will be of those people who have enough ego / arrogance to want to catalogue their own lives, which could put a decent percentage of the rest of the world off the idea, if these are the examples.

Kids have emotions regardless of their parents. Kid learn emotional handling from parents.
Emotions aren't all learned, a lot of it comes wired in us because that's how we relate to others as a species and as animals, in general.
Being angry, being happy, being sad, these are not things we learn. What we learn is how to control the emotions and when it is appropriate to express them.
There's mental disorders of people that don't feel emotions like normal people do, they don't get angry, happy or sad. So what we've learned about these people is that they can mimic the emotions by knowing when it is appropriate and expected to express them. But they don't feel them.
I think the LLMs are closer to psychopaths than to normal children learning the contextual expectations around their emotional responses.
