I just want my devices to stop tracking me, period. Adding emotional prediction feels like sci-fi creepiness.

Therapists already do this intuitively. AI just scales it. Useful if we regulate it properly.

Depends entirely on who controls it and how the data is used. In the right hands, genuinely helpful. In the wrong ones? Surveillance dystopia.

Healthcare applications could be revolutionary. Early intervention for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation. The utility is undeniable.

If AI can predict emotions before I'm aware of them, doesn't that give it too much power over my own mind? Seems like a violation of cognitive autonomy.
