As AIs don’t have the same origin as humans, it is basically inconceivable to me that they will ever share the internal processes underlying their “emotions” no matter how good they get at surface “emoting”, in my opinion this makes it impossible to have a true connection/meaningful relationship with them as humans, even if many people in the future will fail to see this, but otherwise I largely agree with your post (a brain implemented in silicon could be a meaningful friend to a human (eg ems), people will prob fully integrate AIs into the social scene (this is a mistake in my view), people will modify their brains in (what now seems like) radical ways).
