The same week, a Wired reporter published what happened when she tested {{entity:muse-spark|Muse Spark}}, {{entity:meta|Meta}}'s health AI.[²] Medical experts she interviewed for the piece balked when asked whether they'd upload their own health data to such a system — the people who built their careers on clinical judgment wanted nothing to do with it personally. The post sharing that story collected 89 likes on Bluesky, with a near-identical version drawing another 38. That kind of doubling — two separate users sharing the same link within hours — suggests the finding resonated beyond the usual {{beat:ai-in-healthcare|AI in healthcare}} commentary circle. What lands in both pieces is the same structural problem: the population being asked to trust these tools is not the population that gets to decide whether they're trustworthy.
