The Future May Be Brighter than I Thought

I wanted to continue some thoughts on AI from my previous email. Like it or not artificial intelligence (AI) is here to stay.

Generally AI gathers information based on where it searches. That means you’ll receive the mainstream view for many of your queries. It is my belief that most of you read my emails because you don’t completely subscribe to the mainstream views.

Am I correct?

If you wanted mainstream views you generally will have no problem finding them:

  • Google

  • Many doctors

  • TV News

  • Pharmaceutical propaganda

  • Politicians

On the other hand, we have to hunt for what we believe is real health information. The kind that heals us and prevents us from becoming sick in the first place.

Recently I came across some AI that might be more in our favor. Mike Adams, the founder of Natural News, has put together an enormous database of health information that seems to be more to our liking.

According to his X account the AI compiled the information from “10,000 books and hundreds of millions of [internet] pages of content” he curated over the past two years.

It’s called BrightU.AI and you can access it completely for free.

I tried it out. Here is how Google AI, Chat GPT and BrightU.AI answered the question “Is high cholesterol bad for you?”

Google:

ChatGPT:

Seems like a bit of a difference.

Would I trust the BrightU.AI completely? No. Same as other AI out there. I would continue to do research and want to verify it by talking to my doctor that is in agreement with my philosophy on health.

However, it does seem like a nice alternative to the mainstream.

The BrightU.AI gave me more information about LDL an HDL cholesterol than the snippet above. It also listed references and citations that can help.

Another point in BrightU.AI’s favor is that the mainstream really doesn’t like this guy Mike Adams.

Wikipedia’s page for Mike Adams says this about Natural News:

Newspapers such as the UK’s ‘Independent’ have this to say about him:

When I hear rhetoric like that from sources that we know routinely put out incorrect information, I think it’s worth looking into. Doesn’t mean you have to accept it as Gospel. Just try another point of view.
