The experience of love cannot be "programmed," nor can any other emotion or feeling (e.g., the taste of chocolate or the smell of a rose).

As Nobel Laureate Roger Penrose has stated, "consciousness is not a computation." Experiences occur within consciousness.

This argument seems very similar to “AI will never create art,” though. Given enough time and resources, how can we be sure that AI and robots can’t do anything a human can do? Other civilizations in the universe probably figured this out and more countless times already.

It has nothing to do with that argument whatsoever. It has to do with what is well known as "the hard problem of consciousness." Look it up. Computer programs can never generate interior experiences which is what conscious beings ls have.
