No. Empathy is feeling what the person is feeling exactly the same way as if it happened to you. You really have to have already gone through something like what the person is going through. That’s why it’s so rare. What you’re describing is more like sociopathy.

That's not the normal definition of empathy - you don't need to have experienced it yourself, just to have the ability to imagine what it would be like.

Here is Google's AI summary:

> Having empathy means the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. It involves stepping into someone else's shoes and seeing the world from their perspective, even if you haven't personally experienced the same situation.

Sociopathy is essentially the opposite of empathy - someone who pathologically acts in ways detrimental to society.

Anyways, the point apropos this thread is that whatever innate behaviors and responses humans are genetically predisposed could could equally well be made innate to an AI.
