AI Coaching: Gimmick or Future?
Slapping ChatGPT into a text box is not AI coaching.
Every fitness app in 2024 claims to have "AI". 90% of them just pass user stats into an LLM prompt and spit out a generic 4-day split.
What Real Algorithmic Coaching Looks Like
True dynamic programming adjusts based on feedback. If a user marks a set of squats as RPE 9 (very hard), the app should automatically reduce the projected weight for the next session. This doesn't require an LLM; it requires solid math (e.g., Brzycki formula) and a state machine.
