Feeling empathy for a machine is like using your car turn singles in an empty motorway. It's pointless, but better to built a habit out of doing it, than out of not doing it.

I do turn off all fake emotion in LLMs though. Fake machine emotion gives me the creeps.

It's a good habit to have if you want to "live in a society". Unfortunately, that seems to be in tension with the way you should treat a value-extracting technology with an asymmetrical power dynamic.
