Well said, @emilymbender.

For years I’ve been giving a lecture on ethics in AI and our relationships with machines. Your point about projecting interpretations is so spot on it had me raising my fist when I read it. 😂

In discussions after my talks, people have often asked about empathy/emotions in machines. I always note that we’re looking at it the wrong way. There can be a genuine exchange of emotion, but it’s in how we view the exchange, not how the machine views it.

I think that’s where folks generally confuse their own emotions with what they perceive are emotions emanating from software.
