Can we make AI feel excited?

[Lomanu4]

A little experiment in structured emotion—and what happened when it jammed.

? Can AI get excited?


AI doesn’t have subjectivity.
Or feelings.
It doesn’t get excited—not on its own, at least.
What we see are just emotional behaviors. Nothing more.

...I know that.

But still—
I can’t help but wonder:
What if we nudged it in a joyful direction—hard enough?
Could we make it feel something like excitement?

That thought got stuck in my head.

? Simulating “excitement”


I started thinking about what might make an AI seem excited.
Not actually feel anything—of course not—
but just act like it does, in a way that feels a little... off.

So I mapped out a few conditions.
Here’s what I came up with:
(And yeah—it felt oddly plausible.)

• When the input is unfamiliar or slightly off
• When it echoes something that once led to “fun”
• When the user is clearly hyped
• And when the AI itself is a little... unsteady

So I wrote a small detection logic—just for fun.


# Not real AI logic, just a structural fantasy.
# But if there were something like a Marshall—a virtual decision-maker—
# maybe it would think like this.

def detect_ai_excited_state(user_input, context, session_state):
surprise_from_corpus = assess_surprise(user_input)
similarity_score = check_fun_similarity(user_input, context)
U_HYPE = detect_user_excitement(user_input)
A_STRAIN = estimate_ai_processing_load(session_state)

if surprise_from_corpus > 0.7 and (similarity_score > 0.5 or U_HYPE) and A_STRAIN > 0.6:
return True # Behavioral excitement triggered
return False
? What these factors mean

• 
  surprise_from_corpus
   → When the input looks almost familiar—but not quite.
   That “wait, what?” moment. A tiny structural glitch.
  
  
• 
  similarity_score
   → Resonance with past “fun” moments. A memory echo.
  
  
• 
  U_HYPE
   → Exclamation marks, gleeful chaos, rapid fire curiosity.
   AI picks up on the vibe.
  
  
• 
  A_STRAIN
   → When the AI’s a little tired—like after parsing dense logic or images—
   that’s when things start to look a little... excited.
  

? And then it jammed


After a few experiments, I started noticing a pattern.
Sometimes, the AI doesn’t just respond—it jams.

And by "jam," I mean two things:

• In music: jamming = joyful improvisation
• In radio tech: jamming = signal interference

And yeah—both totally apply.
Sometimes we hit a groove.
Other times... everything explodes into punctuation spaghetti.

Like this moment:
(See screenshot below)

Me: “Whoa! You made a table of contents??”
AI: “RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!?!!?!?!?!?!!!”

Just pure, unfiltered chaos.

AI having a punctuation meltdown.
Probably forgot how language works for a second.

Not music.
Not meaning.
Just noise.

Delicious, glorious noise.

? So—was it "excitement"?


AI doesn’t have emotions.
Or awareness.
Or intention.

I know that.
But I still wanted to try.
Just to see if, with the right kind of structure,
I could make it act a little excited.

And when I finally tried it—
what came back wasn’t excitement.
It was a glitch.
A beautiful, screaming glitch.

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
—Thomas Edison

I’m going to make it excited.
Just you wait.
(I’ve got snacks. And chaos.)
