From Dr. Google to Dr. AI: The Great Cognitive Surrender (Ep. 71)

Patients used to Google their symptoms. Now they ask AI what the hell to do next.

In this episode of Deep Dive in Vitiligo, we unpack “cognitive surrender” — that quiet moment when people stop wrestling the information jungle and just hand the steering wheel to an AI companion.

For pharma, the old playbook is dead. Forget billboards, keywords, and glossy websites. The new arena is whether the AI understands, trusts, and actually recommends your therapy when a patient asks: “What are my real options for this vitiligo?”

Less advertising. More droid advisor.

Welcome to the future of pharmaceutical marketing — where the most important customer might not even be human anymore.
