The corresponding question is also false if one replaces sequences such that $a_{i+1} - a_i = O(1)$
with sets of positive density, as follows from [Bl21].
The statement is as follows:
If $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ has positive upper density (and hence certainly if $A$ has positive
density) then there is a finite $S \subset A$ such that $\sum_{n \in S} \frac{1}{n} = 1$.
