The system could also "automatically detect frustration or stress in the user" and "offer and provide assistance accordingly"

It doesn't say how it would offer or provide assistance, but one would assume something along the lines of "I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over".

Not to be a luddite, but this can only end badly. If the assistance offered to stressed people is anything akin to the "assistance" offered by that bastard paperclip motherfcuker that used to pollute our screens I foresee a 400% increase in workplace shootings. Buy your firearms and ammunition stocks now to avoid disapointment.
