One of the more irritating things AI does is try to tell me how I’m feeling.
“You seem upset.”
Really? Based on what?
These tools are looking at patterns in our language and making assumptions about what those patterns mean. And sometimes those assumptions are completely wrong.
Humans do this too, of course. But there’s something particularly frustrating about a machine confidently interpreting your emotions when it doesn’t actually know you.
And that confidence extends beyond emotions.
AI can still make up information and present it as fact. Which means we’re trusting systems that can be wrong about both what we’re asking and why we’re asking it.
That’s worth remembering before you take every response at face value.
