The main emotion in AI is "vexation," and the usual effect is to
drop one's project. So on the whole the effect of emotions on
AI has been to hasten the retirement of projects that never should have
been started anyway.

Seriously, though, the area is fascinating, as are all areas
where you get to do most of the thinking, as opposed to cross-referencing,
yourself. Tell me what your ideas are and I'll tell you mine: quid
pro quo. Nothing's free anymore.
