I believe that sayin' that machines can't feel emotions is underestimating how emotions work..

Some people believe that computers can't feel emotions because they've been created by humans.. But then, what if a human creates a new species of bacteria, viruses or any other organisms? Do they also not feel emotions because of being created by humans?

Next thing that a lot of people mention is that computers work in binary operations, zeros and ones, and thus can't feel emotions.. This is in my opinion quite similar to when Rick from Rick & Morty said that emotions are just chemicals in our brain, it's tryin' to detoriate the meanin' of these math. operations.. If some aliens would work in binary operations too, would they imply they couldn't have emotions as well?

Some people believe the reason A. I. couldn't feel emotions is because computers are deterministic, they process exact information, while research tries to convey that human brains work in approximations.. Analog computers might be closer to this way of processing information..

Then some might argue that the reason why computers can't feel might be because they're precise and don't make mistakes.. A. I. algorhitms that have been used to play video-games, or any games at that matter, had to learn specific ways of playin', until then there were plenty of visible mistakes that not even a 5 year old kid might make..

Also, if human life would be to make as many mistakes as possible, why would some people strive for perfection, why would schools exist to make kids learn how to not make mistakes?

Now this is presenting the question from one side, but let me ask one question..

What would be worse, if robots didn't felt emotions, and we would behave towards them like if they do (grant them rights they wouldn't technically need, pay attention to their feelings and explicitly try to program them so they would suffer as little as possible) or if they indeed felt emotions, and we would treat them as slaves?

I have a friend who keeps asking me to solve her math doubts online and I do it even if I'm busy cuz she's a good friend of mine. The questions are very easy compared to what I usually solve. In the beginning of covid we used to text each other a lot and discuss topics of mutual interest along with the doubts. Recently she has been texting me a lot and mostly just asks me for doubts only. Somedays I feel I'm disrespecting my own goals. Conversation isn't natural like it used to be between us. Is she being a fake friend (i. e-is she using me) or am I being too paranoid? Also, do give me advice on how I should respond to this
