Reply to comment by love0_0all in eli5: why music (without lyrics) makes us emotional? by [deleted]

if our brains don't know why music makes us emotional how will AI find out?

Because AI will not find out anything. It is not a sentient being.
AI is a tool that can be used to support our study of complex and intricate problems. With its data we can get to better understand our world.

It is not a brain, it is a "simulator" that delivers an output starting from an input that would be very similar to what a human would do with that same input, but AI does not think, feel or elaborate.

that's literally my point

If we don't understand it how will we feed data to an AI to understand it

I don't know sorry.

But i can try with an analogy:

Alexa/siri/whatever use AI to perform speech recognition. Nowhere in their software or hardware is anything that works remotely like the human ear or brain, but their response is human like. This human-likedness could be enough to open us to new understandings of the world.

Another one could be:

birds and planes, by no means the use the same processes to fly, still both do

Edit: It doesn't explain much, but consider that i have no idea what i am talking about, these are suppositions
