If you want to use a vague and unsatisfactory definition of "emotion", take a huge leap of logic, and come to an absurd conclusion then sure.
Matter is essentially just another form of energy. Let's just convert matter into infinite energy. It would just take a mass amount of time and effort.
It is after all, clearly that simple. The complete lack of "how" is a minor oversight, since the theory is obviously airtight.well technically speaking, the human brain is essentially a massively complex machine, and if we can learn to understand it well enough we could plausibly create a computer model emulating every aspect of a human brain, including emotions. It would take alot of time and effort, but it is reasonable, unlike your infinite energy scenario. I'll make the comparison between the OP's idea, and this idea.
Sure, you can have a theory. Maybe it's even reasonable. Unless however, you have some semblance of how to make it happen, it's just a pipe-dream. Sure the idea in that indie-game video looks great. Perhaps if you had amazing computing power and resources available you could eventually make it happen. Realistically though, you have none of that. Only the idea.
You could propose that based on Newtonian physics, everything happens because it could only happen that way given the conditions leading up to any given event. You take that a step further and suggest that if you had the necessary computing power, you could write a program that would run through an endless number of seeds and thus replicate analyze every possible existence ever.
You could definitely write something to roughly replicate the results of emotion, but it'd never be the real thing. You've suggested creating a fully working artificial human brain. I feel that you're all oversimplifying this far too much.I think you are over complicating it, with enough computing power and understanding of the biochemical processes of a brain, it is completely feasible to emulate one on a computer. It is more than a pipe dream I would say. Just because an emotion is programmed does not necessarily make it any less real, as all the human mind is is chemistry and electrical impulses working together in ways that make up who we are. if you believe that there is some intangible spiritual force that gives a human his identity that cannot be replicated, I respect that, but I believe that we are basically machines, and machines can be built.
