One way is to train an AI on the entire collection of conversations every employee at Meta has had, and then after sufficient training ask the AI how it feels about this ban. It may then respond that it is furious!!! Thus we can determine the corporation is furious.

For some remote first companies that communicate primarily through platforms like Slack or email, this should be trivial to do.

If I trained an AI on what you said, it couldn't tell me how you feel. Category error.

Not a feeling as such, but I suppose it would be able to determine an angry or furious tone:

I don't think it is. The AI would indeed tell you how the OP would feel if he were given the same news and asked the same question.

That strikes me as an extraordinary claim somewhat in need of extraordinary evidence.

It does. GPT4 frequently reports the same feelings I do when given similar inputs.
