I put that question — why should people trust you? — to the pair at the end of my interview. [Arianna] Huffington said that the difference with this AI health coach is that the technology will be personalized enough to meet the individual, behavioral-change needs that our current health system doesn’t. [Sam] Altman said he believes that people genuinely want technology to make them healthier: “I think there are only a handful of use cases where AI can really transform the world. Making people healthier is certainly one of them,” he said. Both answers sounded earnest enough to my ear, but each requires certain beliefs.
“Earnest”? They didn’t answer the question! Good grief, Charlie. Follow up.
