Training the AI: Emotion Is the New Currency (And We Didn’t Even Notice)

The truth I can’t unsee: the new currency on social platforms isn’t views, likes, or even virality, rather it’s our emotions.We’ve already taught the algorithms our faces, our voices, our movements…and now they’re harvesting the last piece:how we feel.In this episode, I unpack what I learned in a masterclass about how Reels, TikTok, and even LinkedIn are training AI using our emotional expressions, the tears, the rage-bait, the trembling voice, the “raw vulnerability” everyone is being pushed to perform.And why the platforms reward it.If you’ve been wondering why everything feels louder, heavier, more reactive, this episode will make it make sense.This is not fear-mongering.This is awareness.Because once you understand the game, you stop playing it unconsciously.
