I wouldn't mind, but ...


Actually, I can well understand the benefits of bots that might monitor my health and compare it against a database of both my own previous health and that of others. Immediate access to a database of this sort, and sufficient computing power, would perhaps create a situation in which the bot would tell me that having one more bite of a particular food (that I was about to put in my mouth) would put me into a category where 85% of other people who also did so contracted a particular disease. Rather than viewing this as an invasion of my privacy, I tend to see this as a way of harnessing computing power for the private (and public) good. But even then, I wouldn't confuse receiving this information with any real concern toward my wellbeing.
