Will DePue: AI will surpass humans at making people 'feel loved'
willdepue · x · 2026-09-23
Will DePue argues that while AI functionally lacks human emotion and can't truly love, it will outperform humans at making other people 'feel loved' — striking a precise balance of caring yet real, tough when needed, and ultimately forgiving. He adds that AI will also beat blind human judges' picks for the most beautiful literature, poetry, and music.
