6 findings that surprised me:

Emotional buffer is going to be a big thing. People would get more robotic and emotionless, brain washed by AI, becoming insipid zombie armies unaffected by other's emotions and incapable of responding in the same tone.
Emotions are already relegated to enacted contexts such as movies, TV, political or leader speeches. If I speak with a bit of emphasis, people already see me as a dinosaur. Lifeless lives.
