It absolutely is helpful. Designed a routine with AI to help with lifting to work around and overcome lower back issues. It didn't fix all the issues but it did get the ball rolling and offered genuinely helpful corrections to the routine based on textual feedback. I took understanding about flexibility and the need for strength and built the routine.

The biggest feedback is that the lower back pain is 9/10th's gone. After years. AND I can actually lift again.

A personal trainer could have done this too for a minimum of $100/mo. But not just any trainer.

Interested in sharing videos with AI to get lifting form feedback.

I used AI last year to go on a long fast to fix a health issue I had. It had to be a long fast, the AI told me. And it guided me through an extreme fast and I ran into all kinds of problems but each problem the AI showed me exactly how to fix it. It worked every time. And in the end, my issue was fixed and I feel better than ever. And have a way better understanding of how the human body works.

The specific feedback it can give you is truly incredible. A human being can never be there for you in such a specific and nuanced way, answering a million questions along the way.

This year I want to use it for fitness, similarly to how I used it last year.

Maybe for fitness they can do some kind of augmented reality. Like if you wanted Iron Man to be your training coach or something and can produce some kind of VR/augmented reality hologram as it guides you through workouts and helps you tailor your diet and your workout. I used it to learn cooking skills too.

The biofeedback, I think, is absolutely ripe with AI potential. Glad to see it getting implemented here.

Fascinating, I would be curious to see if there is a gym amateur variation.

There are some but I haven't looked into them very extensively yet. For whatever reason the AI running coaches seem to have taken off faster, or at least been promoted more effectively.
