For the people who responded "no", I'd appreciate an explanation of their thought process. If I were to respond "no", this is how I would reason:

1. Whether I love someone is a private and spontaneous emotion.

2. "Everyone", being a universal quantifier, must include many people who I simply do not feel that emotion towards.

3. Therefore, I do not love everyone.

Is this the same, or a different thought process that occurred to you?

1. Let's consider every full person (not "isolated character trait of a person") I ever had feelings for, and where I consciously chose the word "love" to describe these feelings.

2. Do I feel the same towards every person?

3. Hell no

by "love" I would say yes but obviously not in the romantic sense, something more like agápē.

@singer do you love ASIs

@jim yes, in the sense I mentioned. I would also allocate resources for protecting its experiences, assuming it had any that were morally relevant (suffering, joy, etc...).

@singer it's immoral to consider joy and suffering. Any true moral good is such regardless of whether it causes pain (all other factors being constant) (in my view).

ASI likely won't bother with emotions. Does this fact alone rule them out from being moral patients in your view?

Would you also consider p-zombies not to be moral patients?
