Fish feel joy, sadness, fear, friendship, love, like any other animal. Why would you think they don’t? Because they don’t have a human grin? Even ants have good days and bad days.
Human emotion increases. We used to burn women alive and own people. And not like a million years ago, but like one grandpa ago.
AI isn’t a part of human evolution. They’re not an animal. They’re a machine.

They may, if they got to know me, sure.
As humans we don’t notice whether a cockroach is in a good or bad mood. They’re too tiny. We only see them on a macroscopic level. It’s also difficult for them to understand our emotions. Try petting one.
One particular smart insect is the house centipede. They sneak past you when the room is dim. They hide when you turn the light on. They’re very self-aware of the situation.
You’ve acknowledged all
mammals
do, so I don’t see why this wouldn’t extend to all animals with central nervous systems. Mammals just have vertebrae.
We know insects can count, grasp concepts of safe verse scary, learn complex tasks, work as a team with others, and know their own individual body volume to fit into gaps.
Is this surprising to you?

Well, I am trying to pet this house fly. I’ve been placing little bowls of fruit out for it to gain its trust (since it has the emotion of fear). I hope we develop a strong bond of kinship and perhaps things could get physical.
Stop.
