If you're describing how you expect you'd act based on your feelings, then why do their algorithms matter? I would think your feelings would respond to their appearance and behavior.

There's a very large space of possible algorithms, but the space of reasonable behaviors given the same circumstances is quite small. Humans, being irrational, often deviate bizarrely from the behavior I expect in a given circumstance--more so than any AI probably would.
