AI that contradicts you to ballance you out

This system takes a bunch of recorded audio of people saying things in regular conversation and correlates them based on tone of voice and predicted direction of argument and then immediately when you start saying something it starts playing an average of everything anyone has ever said contradicting the direction it predicts you are going in. This would be the opposite of the Facebook agreement bubble, but in interactive, procedural audio rather than video.

/it starts playing an average of everything anyone has ever said/

This would be unintelligible. Don't you mean a conversational sentence that's in the average tonal group.

The AI would still have to analyze the intent of the sentence to contradict it else you are just using a non sequitur.

If you want to be contradicted, isn't it easier just to come here?

No. Not ever. It is much more difficult to come here, and I don't want to be contradicted.

A fantastic idea, but it wouldn't sell well in a competitive marketplace. As we've seen, people tend to prefer products/services/media that agrees, encourages, & flatters them.
