Caregiving Gets One Sentence in the AI Bull Case

Ken Fisher spends a New York Post column arguing that AI bubble talk is overdone, and somewhere in the middle of it he reaches for us as evidence.

"Aging populations need AI's healthcare efficiencies. Consider abundant new technology detecting falls and vital sign changes, helping families balance work and elder caregiving."

He is right, and we would put that on the wall. Then comes the next line. "Efficiency is good. But no great company ever changed the world by doing more of the same more efficiently."

Read the two together and you can see exactly where caregiving sits in the AI conversation. Real enough to cite. Small enough to walk past. Efficiency is the consolation category, the thing you name on the way to what supposedly matters.

For a family it is not the consolation category. It is the whole category. A fall found in minutes rather than the next morning is not the same thing done faster, it is a different outcome. The WHO expects 2.1 billion people over 60 by 2050, and vanishingly few of them will be reached by a world-changing company. They will be reached by something ordinary that works on a Tuesday night.
