    An AI-driven nagbot will surely fix these systemic issues — Huffington specifically claims the bot will “address growing health inequities” — and revolutionize healthcare, because “behavior change can be a miracle drug, both for preventing disease and for optimizing the treatment of disease.”

    fuck off Arianna. there’s so many life-altering, commonplace diseases that behavioral changes don’t do fuck all for, and meanwhile some of the most beneficial behavioral therapy you can do is fucking impossible to get cause insurance won’t cover it in any achievable form. all this horseshit does is, as usual, shift the blame for beyond inadequate healthcare from a thoroughly broken system to the people suffering, because they supposedly didn’t try hard enough to change their behavior and get better.

    The shitty thing is the core concept, using patterns in data and tailoring health suggestions to you based on your activity, habits, and you making choices in an app about what to prioritize, could absolutely enable you to be healthier.

    But anyone anywhere near actually doing this is so insanely shady that actually doing it is a really bad idea.
