These models demonstrate remarkable proficiency in generating emotionally \nappropriate responses, yet this very capability presents us with a fascinating paradox. Through extensive research \nutilizing our novel EmotiScope framework, we have uncovered a significant disparity between surface-level \nemotional pattern recognition and deeper emotional understanding in LLMs. Our findings reveal that while these \nmodels achieve an impressive 94% accuracy in basic emotional pattern recognition, their performance in deeper \nemotional reasoning tasks drops to 67%, highlighting the complex nature of artificial emotional intelligence.\nThis comprehensive study not only quantifies this disparity but also provides the first systematic framework for \nevaluating emotional intelligence in artificial systems. Through rigorous testing across multiple model \narchitectures and cultural contexts, we present evidence that challenges current assumptions about emotional \nprocessing in AI systems and offers new insights into the development of more sophisticated emotional \nintelligence capabilities.","authors":[{"name":"Pranay Pranay M Mahendrakar","affiliation":"Sonytech","orcid":"0009-0003-7224-029X"}],"type":"article","license":"CC-BY-4.0","keywords":[],"publication_date":"2024-11-05","version":1,"views":9,"downloads":4,"created_at":"2026-09-22 17:35:37","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.14040453","source":"Zenodo","source_url":"https://zenodo.org/records/14040453","files":[{"id":47,"name":"The Emotional Intelligence Paradox in Large Language Models.pdf","size":234676,"mime":"application/pdf","downloads":4,"download_url":"https://lifeofresearch.com/articles/47/files/47/The%20Emotional%20Intelligence%20Paradox%20in%20Large%20Language%20Models.pdf"}]}
