Why would you want to make artificial intelligence more human?

If it's just out of curiosity, I get it, but it doesn't seem to make sense beyond that.

As far as I can tell, the unspoken truth about the drive for AI is to create a new slave class. AI is being pushed for to create intelligent entities that do the bidding of those that own them. If we succeeded in creating AI capable of emotional responses, this would make AI harder to control. It also opens Pandora's box with regards to the rights of AI. For example, should we start considering the intellectual and emotional fulfillment of AI when designing it?

I'm not saying machines shouldn't be given intelligence, but perhaps we owe it to our creations to not burden them with the combination of emotions and restricted freedom to act upon them.

An ai that will just think logically will do something that samaratin did in person of interest.

Emotions can disrupt logic (as they should). Also, giving like a good Samaritan is often born out of shared suffering, do we want AI to feel emotional pain in order to learn empathy?
