Detecting Emotion: Fundametally flawed?

We did long time tests with emotion  reading, in retail starting with work using MIT 'emotion glasses',  Was interesting for initial tests, but not spot on accurate.    Pay attention to the measurement aspects, and validate with other methods, like comments. Saw some examples used to prompt specifics in advertising copy. 

Discover the stupidity of AI emotion recognition with this little browser game

Does your face match your feelings?

Tech companies don’t just want to identify you using facial recognition — they also want to read your emotions with the help of AI. For many scientists, though, claims about computers’ ability to understand emotion are fundamentally flawed, and a little in-browser web game built by researchers from the University of Cambridge aims to show why.

Head over to emojify.info, and you can see how your emotions are “read” by your computer via your webcam. The game will challenge you to produce six different emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust, and anger), which the AI will attempt to identify. However, you’ll probably find that the software’s readings are far from accurate, often interpreting even exaggerated expressions as “neutral.” And even when you do produce a smile that convinces your computer that you’re happy, you’ll know you were faking it.  ; ..
