No, what I am saying is that EDI experiences an anologue to emotion, not true emotion, I did not say that it was inferior.


This. Except that I actually believe they are inferior.

Human emotions are function of "hardware"  and "software" and clearly they can be built into synthetic life forms.

There might be synthetic hipsters minority,like EDI, trying to develop emotions for SWAG but nothing more.  :)

Emotions have evolved for very good reasons, without them are synthetics going to survive on their own (or even do anything at all)? Efficiency to do what? Without any emotional drive there's no reason to actually do anything.

Emotions evolved for very good reasons indeed, except that those reasons are not valid for synthetic life.Their analogues of social interactions ,reflexes,instincts and  behavioral patterns appear differently - aka being created ahead. Of course it will evolve ,but do you seriously think that synthetic life will strive for networking protocols to follow something like Human interactions ,complex and impulsive , instead of simple flow of information according to pre-coded laws?
Also, for the emotions being only reason to actually do anything - this is false. My PC does lots of stuff every msec, but it has 0 emotions.

Maybe what EDI experiences is true emotion. Maybe we just experience some chemical and hormonal analogue to true emotion.

One can't be more really can't be more or less objectively real than the other.

Or maybe they're just all different versions of the same thing, like muscles or hydraulics. And whilst EDI may or may not have much in the way of emotion it's going far too far to say that it's impossible for AIs at all, since exactly the same processes we've got could be simulated in an AI if its designers chose to do so.

Then I will just say that I consider the first one to arise the true form, the one that came later and is analogous, as the not true form.

They may very well end up with different emotional responses to different things than we do. But how will they deal with new situations, potential threats or friends and so on? Indeed, when it comes to threats the basic fight or flight mechanism is required for survival, and that's an emotional mechanism.

Also, for the emotions being only reason to actually do anything - this is false. My PC does lots of stuff every msec, but it has 0 emotions. 

It only does it what you tell it to. It will not try to improve its existence, it won't try to stop you from turning it off. It has more in common with a waterwheel connected to some cogs than it does to a fully-functioning mind.

Euh No. The fake dichotomy of Logic vs emotion aside.

Emotion improve efficiency; not reduce it. The mind don't work that way.
Emotion allows a mind to handle more information, and allow for BETTER decision making when there are many unknown and little time. In real life, an emotional mind is superior because of its better decision making ability.

You forget to add - Human. Yes, emotional individuals are more creative in lots of aspects then people who have less emotional-driven character. But this is only because both are Human and both operate in same way, more or less. It is like arguing that emotional horses run faster so cars should have in-built emotions. Animal emotions appeared due to conditions that will not exist for synthetic life.

See, the thing is, philosophically, an emotion is a concept. It seems rather limiting to say that one's own concept or experience to emotion is any less true or different just because they don't experience it in hormonal or chemical waves through the body.

Preference for women =/= racism. Calling a living being a toaster, based on non-organic nature, is. 

Clearly, it's you.

That's a very limiting way of looking at things, and if applied to everything else gets you nowhere (I don't speak the first language, I don't drive the first vehicle, we're not the first life form so are we really life etc.)

I never said anything about creative

It's about being able to handle a greater amount of unknown and information.

Why does every Sci-Fi geek assume that synthetics are automatically and inherently superior to organics?

Bah... You people are Mistaken predictability for rationality, and narrow efficiency for perfection.

I love Tali, but the Quarians would mean a lot to me even without her.

Good thing I am not applying it to everything. 

You are expanding my argument beyond its original scope.

Actually he's keeping it within the context. 

Why do you hold a double standard towards synthetic life?

Because I feel the first to arise is the default version or "true" version, but that DOES NOT make it better.
