Pleasure and Joy

AI ALWAYS produces behaviors which are not specifically programmed. That's what AI is: a programmed simulated evolutionary process, resulting in behaviors which aren't necessarily predictable to even the programmers.

Err, what exactly do You imply by "aren't necessarily predictable to even the programmers"? With random generating code implemented, if any is there at all, sure, unless We know which value/magnitude will be procured We do not extrapolate any future results. But like all variables, even in calculus, the robot's capacity has real limits that We can assess. For example, a boolean only has 2 outcomes, and a string is limited to the numbers 0 to 9 and alphabet and any special characters used. An integer is limited to positive and negative whole numbers. A float or real variable is any real number including decimals. Conditional variables and statements are only as plentiful as the craftsmen allowed. Operators in deciding statements are only as versatile as the total number of possible outcomes that the craftsmen determined. All of this is within our control, our knowledge.

The robot's capacity is limited by 2^n states, where n is the number of bits in the system; given say 64GB of memory, that's not a very limiting limit. Given input from the external environment-- temperature, sound, etc., which is analog (i.e. not digital at all), then nobody can exactly predict how those states are going to unfold.
