This study benchmarks the emotional alignment of generative AI models by assessing their ability to express human emotions through imagery. Findings highlight variations in alignment by model, emotion type, and context, informing the design of emotionally expressive AI systems for wellbeing and reducing the risks of emotionally manipulative AI.
