Two emerging technologies promise to detect lies and map human emotions objectively, offering better security and mental health support. But what happens when privacy disappears and feelings become quantifiable data that machines or therapists can read without consent?
The future of where all this technology might go is both awesome and creepy.
There's obviously a ton of potentially beneficial uses for this kind of technology. On the other hand, it gets weird fast, right? 'Cause it's like, oh, you've got a machine that can tell if I'm lying or telling the truth. Do I wanna live in a world where everybody sort of knows all that stuff?
Like, you have a lot of emotions that you yourself do not understand, and what if you could map that objectively and have either an AI therapist or a real therapist walk you through your feelings and diagnose and understand that?
