Deep dive into whether emotions are genuine biological responses or learned behaviors we mimic from our environment. Extended this question to personality - are we wearing masks or expressing our true selves? GPT explained the mix of inherent emotional capacity with learned expression patterns, and how personality develops through biological foundations plus environmental mimicry. This led to discussing practical steps for building emotional AI agents with authentic personalities.

Key insight: even if emotions and personality start as mimicry, they become authentic through repetition and internalization.

The question remains - what constitutes our 'true' self if so much is learned/constructed?.
