Because first the robots learn to feel pain, then if you torture them long enough, they can learn to hate us?

I maintained robots for years and it did help me to anthropomorphize them when troubleshooting.

I don’t see the utility of the “pain” concept however.
Just tell it not to do that.

If pain was not useful for survival, we would not have it as humans.

Same with pleasure.

...scientists want robots to learn to feel pain.

So robots are going to be allowed to get married? (ba-dum-bash) I'll be here all week, tip your waitress.

Quick retreat. Long term avoidance.

But it’s code, not pain.

Q. Why would scientists want robots to feel pain?

A. Sick answer: Makes for a better sexbot.

If researchers want the robots to feel real pain

A robot can’t feel pain. Simulated pain is not pain.
Simulated emotions are not emotions.

More like react to pain. Only living beings can feel.
