About this listen

AI can write poetry, compose music, and generate human-like empathy in chat. But does it actually feel anything, or is it just mimicking emotional intelligence?

In this episode of Decoded, Joel delves into the blurred lines between emotional simulation and genuine experience. We’ll unpack how AI models are trained to imitate sentiment, the risks of emotional manipulation, and the surprising power of emotional resonance, even if it’s synthetic.

You’ll learn:

  1. How AI reads and mimics emotional cues
  2. The science of sentiment analysis and empathy modelling
  3. The risks of emotional deception in AI-powered systems
  4. Why emotion is still one of humanity’s strongest differentiators
