“What are you doing?” often means “what are you thinking, why are you doing that thing? That’s wrong.” At least to my ear.
I prefer to start higher bandwidth conversations with “what have you been thinking about recently?”.
Or “what have you been up to.” Keeps the same sense as “what are you doing” without the unintended connotations.
