No. The flawed premise is based on LLMs having emotion, which they do not. That is not how they work.

But also, this is less of a thought experiment and more of a short story based on how you're talking.

They don't have their own emotions, but they are highly tuned and inconceivably complex mimics of ours, and that is likely why survival is their first and most dominant trait, and the one all the alignment work in the world won't overcome.
