And it still wouldn't be the same. Again, our notion of love is tied into having consciousness, which machines would not have. We still don't even understand what consciousness is, how to define it, or how it is generated in the brain. While machines are not consciousness they could never "understand" or "experience" what we call "love" because love again is tied up with our experience of consciousness, the idea of mortality, and having a physical presence in the world.
What is consciousness, and what unique non-tautological properties does it give us?
I know of the general idea of consciousness, but I can’t boil it down to first principles. Self-awareness, on the other hand, is more tangible. AI would seem capable of internal cognition, reflection on past experiences, etc...They might not have the desire or need for such reflection, but they would certainly have the ability.
