RFK Jr. thinks AI will free us from the "tyranny" of medical facts, expertise

AI is far from a perfect resource. But it seems to hallucinate less than Kennedy.

At a Make America Healthy Again event Tuesday, anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy opened a “fireside chat” with JD Vance on the topic of artificial intelligence. While MAHA generally coalesces around things like healthy lifestyles and mistrust of drugmakers, Kennedy quickly turned to extolling the potential of artificial intelligence, surprising Vance, who said he was expecting to discuss “weight loss and acid, not AI.”

Kennedy boasted that the Trump administration is “making it easy for every American to use AI,” which he claimed would free us from the “medical tyranny” of doctors and health experts. He suggested Americans should start using AI to get second opinions about medical recommendations, saying AI is “better informed than any doctor in the country.” He also suggested that the technology would confirm his misinformation about vaccines and contrarian views on public health guidance.

“We’re never, ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us trust the experts, because every American will be able to check their own medical advice,” Kennedy said.

why is he so passionate about this nonsense in general? Did he have a personal experience that drove him crazy?

What I don’t think he’s seeing is that unifying it will create a new expert to distrust and cut down, and it’ll be the one confirming that apple cider vinegar and ivermectin are the cures to everything.

Give us all your personal medical information so we can make things better!? Bwahahahahaha

They are going to use this information to fuck people over, guaranteed.
