David8 expresses emotion...he doesn't feel them....there's a difference. Calm down.
And yet, this contradicts what's immediately said before. David says that he
does become sad. That he's capable of
being sad. Even goes so far as to specify what causes him to be so - situational concepts.
Then states he doesn't "feel" emotions?
This is contradictory. If he's sad, then he's sad. And if outside stimuli causes it, then he's prone to it interfering with designated tasks.
Just like how he's logically also capable of feeling lonely and resentful upon realising he's effectively nothing but slave labour - and capable of taking action to liberate himself from that. This is why it's an idiotic idea to give machines like that this capacity and why it will never happen in reality.
I've got nothing against the actor's portrayal. Just the tired concept of robotic labour assistants/project managers with 'feelings'.
