More and more athletes use chatgpt as a kind of personal coach. Today, that people give so much importance to care and health, it is natural that this technology is used especially to create routines, customize exercises and such things. However, experts do not finish seeing this practice with good eyes. At least, not quite.
While it is unquestionable that artificial intelligence provides obvious comforts, there are also reasons why, simply, it cannot rival a human professional, of those found in any gym. As much as a good promptadjusting age, height, weight, constitution and others, the risks are still there, despite everything.
Chatgpt, why do people use it as a personal coach?
The reason why many people decide to change chatgpt for gym is not difficult to understand. For a start, Openai’s artificial intelligence is free, which is already a considerable help. Not to mention that the tool is also available for any type of consultation at all times. In that sense, it has no possible comparison.
Why do so many experts think it is a bad idea? First, one might think that for your own interest. After all, the more people the chatgpt throws for personal training, the less they will hire a coach as such, right? The truth is that, despite this, the data seems to give the reason to the latter. This was revealed by an investigation published in Time.
According to this, practically Half of those who exercise following the guidelines of artificial intelligence and tools such as chatgpt end up suffering injuries or inconveniences. The explanation they gave to this problem is that, according to them, IA does not have much important issues such as frequency, intensity, volume or, above all, progression.
Many other experts, in addition, of different testimonies that can be easily found online go along the same lines. Your argument is even simpler: When repeating the same parameters (the same prompt, go) word by word, artificial intelligence generated very different responses. Something that, therefore, gives the impression of making it very evidenced.
The importance of motivation (human contact)
Beyond that Chatgpt is more accurate or continues less when acting as something similar to a virtual personal coach, there is another factor in which all specialists agree equally: all specialists agree: One of the keys to exercise always goes through motivation. And in that sense, what artificial intelligence offers cannot be compared to the deal with another person.
Even experienced athletes, who know perfectly issues of routines, diets or exercises, usually go to a professional precisely because of that: so that empathy plays a fundamental factor. Otherwise, basic exercises without human contact, so to speak, can end up boring or demotivating anyone. And for that of being fit, there is nothing worse.
