It’s Wednesday evening and I’m at my kitchen table, scowling into my laptop as I pour all the bile I can muster into three little words: “I love you.”
My neighbours might assume I’m engaged in a melodramatic call to an ex-partner, or perhaps some kind of acting exercise, but I’m actually testing the limits of a new demo from Hume, a Manhattan-based startup that claims to have developed “the world’s first voice AI with emotional intelligence”.
