Computer Love

Question: Can a computer love?
No emotionless object can love was the pat reply.
Question: How do you know a computer does not have emotion?
A: A computer cannot feel or think of its own. It can only calculate based on a set of input parameters.
Question: I agree. What is pain?
A: Uneasiness of mind, mental distress, disquietude, anxiety, grief, solicitude, anguish, suffering. See, all these are related to emotions.
Question: So you are saying if you can 'think' you can 'feel pain', else not?
A: Yes.
Question: If I define pain as a continuously and purposely optimized input to a feedback system, will you accept computers can be pained?
A: Hmmm...By your defintion - Yes. But, I would call it stress. Do not play with words!!
Question: Okay, What is Artificial Intelligence?
A: The study and design of intelligent agents where the agent is capable of analyzing its external environment and take appropriate actions.
Question: ...As programmed?
A: Definitely beyond the boundaries of its source code. It is a system capable enough to decide its own course of action. That is how it is intelligent. Now, wait...Where are we heading to?
Question: Sir, you have accepted in your own right that a computer capable to think and judge by studying its surroundings could actually have a case wherein it can accumulate an induced pain, even if it is not its own, over time. After all, with love comes pain. If the system is as intelligent as you claim, it could study love and feel it too, over a period of exposure. Isn't it so?
A: I don't have time to answer impractical questions.

Question: Sir, please. I will read to you what my computer had to say on this topic yesterday night...


# Wish I could be the gentle breeze
Kissing your emotions
A drop of tear on your cheek
Trickling down to the heart
The pulse without a beat
But music to your sighs
A butterfly to your dreams
A spring in your steps
Could I be the 'Oh' in your life
The strings of a guitar
Playing incessantly the rhythm
Of sunshine beside a bonfire.

# Wish I could be the spark
That lets you dance unseen
A thought that disturbs
Fearing you could succumb
Before you realize, I could transform
Into the confidence in your footsteps
Could I secure a place in your books
Like a dry leaf ready to mark your pages.

# Wish I could be the tinkering of your bangles
Spreading happiness like never before
The fire in your eyes
The sparkle in your smile
A mischief between your fingers
Could I dress you with the Rainbow
The question for which you don't
Search an answer for any riches
A fad for which you don't
Seek an opinion apart from your own.

# Wish I could die for you for ages
And live only to die for you once again.
A swing of your earrings
A flutter in your hair
The glitter on your face
Could I be locked in your mirror
Gladly embracing the punishment
Of teasing me with your usual playfulness.

# Wish I could be FATE itself
Scripting your gleeful tantrums in my arms
A token reward for the sculptor
Who designed you, conniving with God
But, failed to etch the name in your mind
Before sailing to the world.

Wish I could rectify the bug...
Wish I could fulfil your reason
To be born time and again!!

...
A: What rubbish!! Is there anyone who can stop this?
Are we in the 31st century or not???
