#AI GenerativeAI #Healthcare #ThriveAIHealth #AIHype: "Thrive AI Health is profoundly emblematic of this AI moment precisely because it is nothing, yet it demands that we entertain it as something profound. My immediate frustration with the vaporware quality of this announcement turns to trepidation once I consider what happens if they do actually build what they’ve proposed. Is OpenAI—a company that’s had a slew of governance problems, leaks, and concerns about whether its leader is forthright—a company we want as part of our health-care infrastructure? If it succeeds, would Thrive AI Health deepen the inequities it aims to address by giving AI health coaches to the less fortunate, while the richest among us get actual help and medical care from real, attentive professionals? Am I reflexively dismissing an earnest attempt to use a fraught technology for good? Or am I rightly criticizing the kind of press-release hype-fest you see near the end of a tech bubble?"
