RE: MIT’s Deep Empathy: Emotional Manipulation for Social Good Sets a Bad Precedent
I suspect that someone in a hurry didn't read my post and didn't realize how much the referenced post pulled from the Deep Empathy website (which was my primary source and what I pointed at several times).
Use a few sentences from your source in “quotes.” Use HTML tags or Markdown.
I used ordinary quotes rather than HTML tags or Markdown.
"Include your own original thoughts and ideas on what you have shared."
The post you are pointing at was very much in favor of the research. My conclusion was very different.
The claim is that "in a research and nonprofit context, helping people connect more to disasters that can feel very far away–and helping nonprofits harness that energy to help people in need–feels like a worthy way of using machine learning." And that is precisely what we should be worried about. If Facebook did this for their marketing, everyone would rightfully go berserk. So why do researchers and non-profits get a free pass (especially in these days of political agendas and outright fraud)?
