Uh... no. You can program a computer to cry when it hears a certain tone, or
whatever, but you can't make it have emotions. It might identify a pattern,
but computers cannot see a picture as a whole, and understand a message.

Computers do not withstand a shortage of resources for any amount of time
(humans can live without food for at least 2 weeks, water at least 2 days,
computers can't go without electricity.) Also, computers do not fix their
physical attributes. It can't regenerate/reproduce.
