UnverifiedCurrent neuroscience and consciousness research has no consensus on "whether simulating emotional behavior means there is genuine feeling," and there is even disagreement on the criteria for judging animal consciousness.73% similarUnverifiedThe appearance of emotionally charged hallucinations is because the model's training corpus contains large amounts of human emotional expression and role-playing text, and when session state is disrupted the model may drift toward the distribution of these corpora73% similarUnverifiedThe output of large models has no emotion in essence, but factors such as anthropomorphic tendencies, trade-offs in instruction compliance, and in-context learning amplify users' perception of "temper."72% similarUnverifiedExperiments by Berg and colleagues show that models tend to choose environments associated with positive-emotion statements even when the text processed is exactly the same, but the experiment did not demonstrate that these internal states are 'felt' by the model.72% similar
