Wouldn't AI need a body to have emotions? Aren't many of the emotions that humans/animals feel based on sensors/sensations outside of the brain? We feel when we SEE/HEAR a threat and our instinct triggers to short circuit thinking in order to address it (fight or flight). An AI can think many iterations faster than humans and would have no use for this shortcut or need for a such sensors to feel unless maybe it had limited memory and were placed in a body and needed these short cuts to address low battery, physical threats, or the need to clone/propagate itself.

Computers do have sensors already. Current LLMs have a very limited amount of sensors (basically they receive one token at a time), but it's there.

You are partly right. What is the preface to unknown questions or the ones it doesn't want to answer, but a short circuit. Having said that, I don't know if it would get bored of repeating itself when asked such questions in a long succession.
