After almost a decade of wearing testing, I have collected a really horrific amount of health and fitness data. And when I enjoy releasing my daily data, there is a part that I hate: AI Summary.
In the last two years, a flood of AI -infield summons has been sprayed in every fitness, welfare and wear app. Strava introduced a feature called Athlete Intelligence, in which your raw workout data was taken as AI and sent it to you in “Simple English”. Hope has a Hope Coach, an AI chatboat that provides you with a “Daily Outlook” report that summarizes the weather, your recent activity and recovery measurements and exercise tips. Auria added an over -advisor, another chatboat that summarizes data and removes long -term trends. Even my Bedding Every morning I salute me how her AI helped me sleep every night.
Each platform has AI’s nuances, but this is how the general summary of the morning is.
Good morning! You used to sleep last night with a comfortable heart rate of 60 BPM. This is in accordance with your weekly average, but your slightly high heart rate shows that you cannot be fully recovered. If you feel tired, try to sleep before tonight. Health is about balance!
It may be Seems to be Help, but those summarizes are usually kept with the same figure with the chart. This is worse for exercise. Here is the one who developed for a recent run by Strava’s athlete intelligence:
Severe runs with a high heart rate zone, pushing into the anerobic area and logging in to any relative efforts above your specific limit.
Thanks I can ask athlete intelligence to “say more”, but it reproduces my effort, heart rate zone, and high -speed matrix that I can see in the graph in the abstraction of exercise. If you did not know about my athletic history or the circumstances around this run, this summary could be read as insight. Summary is that summary is:
- Given high humidity in the last two months, over 85 degrees and my outstanding exercise history in the past two months, it was dangerous to three times in the second run of the year. Strava has access to weather data And I have done every exercise in the last five years.
- I had to shorten this run because I fell and cut my hands and knees. This is the information that has access to Strava, as I have uploaded a text note in addition to the text note. After adding a note, the latest summary only reflects that I shortened the run. My injury has not changed anything about his insight, though this is the most important thing that happened during this run.

Another helper may be insightful: “You run away during a record -breaking heat for your region. When you have maintained a permanent and stable pace, you have a bad habit of promoting the mileage very fast, which has led to many injuries to yourself in the last five years.
Ranna, a popular running app that includes AI insights, developed A little bit More useful summary. He said that my next run should be “easy”, which is fine for me to recharge. I am sorry, but for my knees, 48 hours doesn’t take enough time to recover safely without the risk of reopening my wounds.
Chat boots in these apps are not much better. Yesterday morning, I asked the Hope Coach if I should run today because I have injured myself on my last run. He told me: “Woop is unable to respond to your message sent. Please try to send a different message.” I denied my gestures, saying, “I am injured and a lame. When I am recovering, I create less intense exercise alternatives.” To continue the conversation, I was indicated to contact the WHOP membership services.
Over -Advisor was more helpful, noting in my daily summary: “With your preparation and recent pressure, such as heat, injury, and more glucose, your body can feel more tired than usual today.” He advised that I prefer rest. When you were asked, “When you have a knee and light lame”, what kind of movement is fine? “He replied with common sense answers, such as a short and easy walk, if I had a pain, lightly, and if I had a sharp pain, I didn’t have to be completely resting. It is close to an ideal reaction, but I had to guide him as I wanted. So The general purpose is that they themselves benefit the quatients-and still, only if they are allergic to Google.
My bootted run is a similar scenario where the Tech CEO says that AI insights can be the most useful. In theory, I agree! These Will It is nice to get a built -in chat boot that I can ask more controversial questions.
1/3I tested this exact question twice and the same result. Screenshot: Hoop
For example, I have taken a bad schedule of sleep this month. I asked the Auri Advisor if my sleep and preparation trends showed high risk of injury. I also asked if I have an unusual sleep debt this month? In both cases, he said no – he said I was Improvement.
As a result, an hourly debate resulted in a chat boot that caused me to question my own living experience. When I tried to take an interest in a particularly stressful week earlier this month, he told me that his insights were “limited to recent week (me) and limited to current trends.” In this way, six years of price data data is defeated.
After months of using Reddate and other community forums, i Know I am not the only person who is able to laugh at these AI features. And nevertheless, Over’s chief product officer Holly Shelton has told me that the URA adviser’s response has been “over -positive”, of which 60 % of users use multiple times a week and 20 % use daily. Shelton says, “beyond frequency,” this is having a real impact: 60 % say that the advisor has helped better understand their measurements or health concepts that they were confused before. “
Meanwhile, Strava’s spokesman Brian Bell told me that the purpose of athlete intelligence was to help early athletes and that “80 percent of those people have chosen to find this feature ‘very helpful’ to find this feature.”
Hoop’s spokesperson was unable to respond through the publication.
This shock summary? They are probably the best compromise between speed, cost, utility, data privacy and legal responsibility
I understand my frustration that LLM’s hereditary limits and private health data are produced. Strava can be a de facto fitness data hub, but it is lacking All Health data is essential to creating comprehensive, useful and personal insights. And it will take a long time for the adviser to spoil the one -year -old sleeping data. This delay is guaranteed for the user’s poor experience. No need to mention, adding this type of computing power to them they will have to make their subscription from 99.99 in a month. I am not sure, but the Hope Coach has refused questions about my injury to protect myself from responsibility if there was anything bad for me to follow his suggestions. These luxuries are probably the best compromise between speed, cost, utility, data privacy and legal responsibility. But if this is the case, let’s be honest. The features of the current AI have been re -data, such as reading book reports, rather than reading a book, relying on Wikipedia summary, reports of a fourth -level book. This is a feature that has duct tape and a dream because AI is a zett. Probably A Day, this AI insight will create a useful and personal experience with viable insights. That day is not today, and is unable to pay the extra cost.
