[Accountability] Make insights "opt in” or at least give us the option to opt out!

Frankly, the insight cards that pop up periodically are inane and useless enough as it is, and being able to get rid of those would be nice, because they’re just annoying. That’s been asked elsewhere, and so far there’s been no movement on that point.
The new “insights“ that show up with every meal based on “AI analysis“ are unhelpful, often insulting, and almost enough to make me stop using the app completely.
If somebody needs or wants that level of handholding and enjoys being patronized by what amounts to a computer program, then let them opt into it (or if it must be the default, let the rest of us opt out).
There are features of the app/subscription that I would like to be able to continue to use, at least until the end of my one year subscription. I feel as though I paid enough for the Levels Health subscription, and my monthly CGM subscription, that I should get to choose whether I have to be subjected to this multiple times a day.
I understand that the intention is theoretically to help, but really, the execution, at this point, is poor and it’s getting exceedingly tiresome.

[Usability] Option to disable insights
J

Provide the option to disable the insights cards, or at the very least, disable the badges and new indicators. The insights are extremely repetitive and in general not terribly helpful. For me personally, having badges on open items is anxiety producing. There’s a ton of data already available and being able to choose what you wish to see would be amazing!!

I definitely noted bias in one of the insights that I think actually goes against what Levels is about. Ie, it recommended I swap roasted mushrooms for the sirloin steak I logged bc the mushrooms were “healthier” than red meat. I enjoy reading what the AI is going to generate but for entertainment purposes not for actual insight. Or maybe use a different AI model AND run the AI insights feature as an opt-in beta instead of all users.

Sooooo much this. I get the same ones over and over and they are so incredibly banal. “We’ve noticed a slight correlation between your sugar intake and glucose stability” blah blah blah. With all due respect - no shit.

Agreed. I think the insights
could
become something useful, but they all come in at the same time, so there are a LOT, and having the red dot for un-read is distracting. But they are not worth reading because they are very repetitive, and are mostly very obvious. "We have noticed a slight correlation between higher carbohydrate intake and higher glucose levels." or whatever the specific message is always makes me want to say, "Well, duh!" :)Whoop has recently included an AI-generated "Daily Outlook" which, at times, can be very useful. It makes suggestions based on trends as well as the current-day data. Might be something to consider basing the insights on. You could even have settings in the app for different approaches to nutrition, so the insights wouldn't suggest more bacon to a vegan, for example.
