alcoholic trying to get sober after a relapse tells Google's "Health Coach" about it.
it tells them to drink every hour and messages them to make sure they're drinking as soon as they wake up.

@molly0xfff Is this thing confused about "drinking" and "drinking"? but even if that, drinking water every hour would be excessive, seems like it really went off-track. If this thing is really pushing people to drink more alcool, even if they are not alcoholic, there is just no excuse to that, there is no "healthy" dose of alcohol. More is always worse.
I use google health, but didn't use the coach, it's mostly an on phone data-storage with metrics and general advice, adding a chatbot in here, while tempting, is indeed pretty risky.
@molly0xfff there has to be liability here
@molly0xfff With all due respect, I think this guy needs a guardian.
Google is slipping, just think of the AdWords opportunity here of embedding Ads in Google AI products. Had Google been on the ball Alcoholic beverage companies and retailers could be bidding on ads for their products against a pre qualified pool of alcoholics.
@molly0xfff Jesus Fucking Guillotine
