If you created an AI intelligent enough to, or strictly for the purpose of, grow and have 'emotional' relationships with others, how would it define its parents/mother/father? Would it ever attempt to define a person as one?
This is a rather odd thing that popped into my head recently and since I'm no good at AI (although somehow I doubt very few people here have any good knowledge of it either).
Basically, would an AI that develops emotional (bear with me here) relationships, would it ever consider a person as one of its parents? Would it consider a specific group its family? How would those attachments be made if not hardcoded into the AI and told to do so? If you never told it that it has parents/creators/whatever -- would it ever reach the conclusion that it has a creator or parent?
Would it just consider those individuals it favors most to be its closest 'relations'?
What if it was told that it had a parent and it didn't like the parent?
