Maybe what's really going on is the thought
-
that there's an aspect of desire
-
that has a purely behavioral side,
-
that's moving pieces around in a way that would make sense
-
if you had this goal. And maybe machines can do that.
-
But there's an aspect of desires, the emotional side,
-
that machines can't have, but we clearly do have.
-
Maybe we want to build that emotional side into talk of desires.
-
So maybe if we want to say machines
-
don't have a mental life and couldn't have a mental life,
-
what we really mean is
-
no machine could feel anything emotionally.
