A lot of my clients have been sending their riding data through AI and forwarding the resulting analysis to me. Some of the conclusions are completely off the mark, bordering on dangerous.
Hang on, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use AI. It means you need to understand what information you provide, what references you use, and what you’re asking it to evaluate.
In fact, I use AI myself, specifically to help uncover patterns and explore specific “what ifs.” But the information you provide must support the conclusions you’re asking it to draw.
Uploading a lap and asking, “How do I go faster?” leaves a lot undefined.
Faster compared to whom? In what vehicle? Under what conditions? Will that uncover the fundamentals of your techniques that need attention?
Or, is it just another voice telling you to “go faster.”
Before asking AI what to change, give it the context to evaluate what’s happening. Broad questions tend to produce broad answers. Specific, deliberate questions—with the right information and references—give you a better foundation for useful analysis.
