The new coaching text box is making me trust Fitbod's system less
This morning, the coaching session on my Triceps Pushdown told me: "Your recent Tricep Pushdown sessions have you dialed in here. Same weight, two more total reps than last time. Make the last few reps genuinely hard."
This time: 4 sets, 10 reps, 100 lbs Last time: 3 sets, 10 reps, 100 lbs
It wasn't "two more total reps" as the coaching AI said, it was an entirely additional set of 10 reps.
This is the sort of thing that makes users lose trust and confidence in an app. If an app introduces AI features, the most important thing is for the developers to put up sufficient guardrails that the things it says not be wrong. They don't have to be perfect, but they certainly can't be false. And it makes me more concerned about the traditional machine-learning systems that Fitbod has used for years being supplanted by LLMs.
