alt Hacker News>Drugs to cure the diseases caused by your environment
Humans have so far completely failed to develop any drug with minimal side effects to cure lifestyle diseases; it's magical to think AI can definitely do it.

Is your objection just over the word "cure"? Because hypertension, depression, arthritis, asthma are a few in an absurdly long list of lifestyle diseases that use drugs as a primary method of treatment.
Everything has side effects. In this case we have three pretty good interventions, Ozempic, FMT, and telling people to drink Coke Zero. The worst "side effect" is just that the first two are expensive.
Oh, in this case GP seems to be including sunscreen as a treatment for lifestyle diseases. Pretty sure those don't have side effects, but Americans don't get the good ones.
