TL;DR

Full Story

A assured fool is a harmful factor (even when effectively intentioned).

Like Chevy’s uncle Steve, who’s now banned inside the prolonged household from engaged on anyones vehicles.

The person is satisfied he’s a mechanic, simply because he goes to 1 or two automobile exhibits per yr. In actuality he is aware of nothing and has achieved 1000’s of {dollars} of harm to a number of relations’ vehicles.

Which is why we’re excited, but additionally just a little skeptical of Cudis’ Genesis Good Ring.

It’s a web3 and AI enabled health tracker (type of just like the Oura ring), which is able to construct AI-generated exercise plans for its customers, and reward them with crypto once they full a exercise.

We’ve really written about it earlier than — we love that it offers customers full management over their well being information, permitting them to even go so far as to promote it anonymously in the event that they so select.

However the newly introduced AI generated exercise plans?

We’re undecided we belief them as a lot.

Not as a result of we predict something nefarious or damaging will come of it — extra that it’ll really be much less efficient than a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all exercise plan.

As a result of AI tends to hallucinate and ship laughably incorrect data, with sheer, unadulterated confidence (see header picture ).

Both means, the product itself remains to be tremendous cool due to its privateness options, and the truth that it pays you to exercise.
