UIdai is *not* used to indicate another's UI-state, but the speaker's
UI-state and the fact that it is empathetic in nature.

empathetic

1. Showing empathy for /others/, and recognizing their feelings etc

empathy (uncountable)

1. the intellectual identification of the thoughts, feelings, or state of /another person/
