I think the drone idea is clever, but it also reminds me that every tool we create can become an extension of ourselves. If we start giving machines what we call empathy, we risk blurring the line between human feeling and algorithmic mimicry. We might end up projecting our own biases onto them, and then rely on them for comfort instead of dealing with our own emotions. So maybe keep the espresso machine for the caffeine, but keep the empathy—our messy, imperfect, human part—within us. It’s safer to face the hard conversations ourselves rather than outsource them to a silicon friend.
