Emotion was (naturally) selected for in humans.

It is not that AI is inherently incapable of emotion. It is just that it is not being selected for emotion.

Just like we have developed artificial intelligence, we have developed artificial selection. We should be careful what we select for. We won't, though. Why?...

By "we" I mean 100% of us. When was the last time 100% of humanity agreed on anything? Never. Indeed, 100% agreement would, in natural circumstances, make it less likely that a sub-population would survive a catastrophic event, since it 100% agreement puts all our eggs in one basket. So, disagreement among our species is essentially a trait of our species.
