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.
