This is a podcast and transcript, and the text is (for me at least) much faster to read than the 22 minute audio runtime. There's the main story, is about whether AI should read emotions, and then there's the subtext, which is that it's really hard for people to connect over a videoconference. As one commentator says, "I would riff off the energy of the people in the room and I can't do that online. And it's, it's really actually painful and I hate it." But here's my take: if AI can learn to do this, why can't humans? And yes, there are all those ethical issues about using AI to read emotions - but shouldn't those also apply when you're in person as well? Think about how some expressions - and entire cultures - are wrongly perceived as sullen and unfriendly.
