There is a study called “computational psychiatry”. This study will help patients suffering from depression or hallucinations by studying AI algorithms such as “reinforcement learning” among computer AI functions. Machines are examples of human treatment. Conversely, people wonder if AI-learning humans can be depressed like humans. The answer is “yes”. It is a fact that scientists consider it possible. People thought human emotion was something special. However, emotions can be replaced with symbol combinations promised as signals in the algorithm world. In other words, the emotion on the machine is “selection”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
