Google Health has taken over from Fitbit on my phone, but I still don't trust AI enough to talk to me about my health

Google Health app.

You might have noticed the furore around users being forced to switch from the Fitbit app to the Google Health app this month, and it's an update that's happened on my phone too now: five years after Google acquired Fitbit, the Fitbit app is now no more, though the brand name lives in with the new Google Fitbit Air.

I don't mind the new app too much, even if it's not quite as well laid out or as intuitive as the old Fitbit one, but it's the Google Health Coach that I have the biggest reservations about. This AI-powered helper promises to provide personalized, insightful advice on your fitness and well-being, and you can interact with it in an easy, conversational way.
