I Asked An AI to Train Me Like Batman (ChatGPT)

In this video, I try getting ChatGPT - the new conversational AI - to write me a functional training program. Then, I ask it to write me a training program to become Batman. Because *of course* I do!

This recent slew of generative AIs are extremely powerful. They offer a huge potential for those that know how to get the most of them. I've been using ChatGPT to write code for me with a fair amount of success! There have been duds... but on multiple occasions the AI has saved me countless hours and produced some really cool stuff.

It even helped me plan Mothers' Day for my wife this year!

But can ChatGPT write training routines? Does it even lift, bro?

Lots of people are already using ChatGPT and other AIs as personal trainers/coaches. So, how reliable are they in this capacity?

And what can they show us that we *couldn't* get from a regular coach? Can they make us Batman?

Well, the results are mixed. You'll need to watch the whole video to get the whole scoop!

What do you guys think of these new tools? Exciting opportunities? Dangerous status-quo shakers? Or something else?

I think the problem here is that you didn't specify WHICH Batman you want to train to be. Personally, Lego Batman is the paradigm.

Gotta say, I like your training philosophy. I was never was one for the bodybuilding estheticic. After a long illness when I had to go to a gym to recuperate (mid 20s), I always trained for strength and function - which suited my genetics perfectly. At 63, I follow your channel more closely than any other training channel.

When you mentioned the grappling hook, I realised that there's one aspect of Batman that hasn't really been featured on this channel yet:
Batarangs

I would be super down for a video about throwing in general, or boomerangs in particular

There was a book that, I recall, was titled “Becoming Batman”, written by a kinesiologist. Very interesting. Especially when you come to expected lifetime of such a hero. This was appropriately 2 years given the stress on the body. This nicely coincides with Nolan’s trilogy of Batman.

great video as always! love the ending “see you in the next video” instead of the usual “bye for now” making me question if an AI took over 😂

Inspired by this video, I asked ChatGPT to create a dialogue between Batman and Bruce Lee where they discuss their approaches to martial arts, training and diet. Apparently Batman trains twice a day and feels his kicking ability is not as good as his punching and grappling; Bruce suggested he needed to work on his flexibility and offered advice on how to do this. Batman likes Bruce's approach to circuit training, and suggests that he should combine strength and cardio in the same circuit for maximum results. I never thought I would find myself typing "get Bruce to ask Batman how he trains strength and endurance concurrently" much less, do this and actually get a sensible answer.

I've been watching your videos for about three or so years now, and I really enjoy your specific ability to tap into why i train. I've not had a single video of yours fail to leave me inspired to train harder, smarter and better. Thank you for your content. You've improved my training and my life.

Drop a tutorial for martial artists to compliment their martial arts and add muscle at the same time

Man, I don't know if this speaks bad about myself and frankly I don't care, I'd preffer to think of this to speak good of the work you do in your videos, but the feeling I get with your first joke, was that of seeing a friend. Keep it up Bioneer, you're changing the world.

[d-rey]

Definitely definitely definitely do a video on the movie "Wanted"!

Prompt i tried some time ago (sorry i'm cringe):
"write me a 5-6 days/week workout routine to get me to a super soldier/operator type physique, focusing on strength, conditioning and agility. Preferably a PPL routine but feel free to give your own input."

It spat out a simple ppl routine with nothing too out of the ordinary, deadlifts on pull day is a bit too much. Conditioning was interesting, it gave me a jumping jacks, burpees, rope jumps and other exercises to be done in a circuit. Definitly a nice cardio, but again, not sure if it hits what i wanted. Overall i'd say it's a good tool to revise your pre existing workouts, give you variations on the exercises and stuff like that, but unfortunatly i'm yet to find a Call of duty protagonist/James bond/Batman/Adam Sinicki workout routine.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

This video is absolutely great in so many ways. The Bioneer at it's creative best, and again ahead of his time I'd say.

When you talk to chatGPT, you have to lead it into the right part of its stored "knowledge". If you say that it should answer as a leading workout creator, and talk to you as if you are very knowledgeable about training, you might get it to give better answers. If you add in words that would be part of information you are looking for, you might get even better results. It is an art in itself to talk to chatGPT so you get the answers you are looking for! Lots of YouTube videos gives you good advise on this.

[jokelot]

Yea, this is exactly how i use it. Its like a tool to expand my own qualities and capabilities even further. Im a programmer and i use this language model more as an assistent or to reflect my own thoughts and conjure up solutions rather than to get solutions right off the bat. And its not accurate, so it takes a caution when you use it. It doesnt have precision. You really have to know your stuff and be careful taking the information it generate for granted.

[chrisvelasco]

Love your perspective and practicality of a real Batman adaptation. You and your martial arts buddy need to cosplay in one of you next videos as Batman and Nightwing doing some sparring and functional training!!!

[BilqeesBiBi-rymc]

Very perfect and Informational Video❤❤❤❤❤

[hashimsama]

Man I've been on that batman mood again this week and was wondering when your next batman related video would drop! Keep up the good work boss!
Edit: this was a fun video! This video felt different than the rest of your stuff. Normally it feels like you're educating us on a topic like a class or giving a sort of tutorial. But this one you took us with you to see how ChatGPT performs and educated along the way. I enjoyed this! Also caught the outro change 😂

Lateral step downs from a box, isometric single leg raises with a band pulling my thigh out away from me or across me, and yoga are some of my favorite balance training. Turkish get ups and shoulder tap planks are also 👌

[LTPottenger]

The problem with AI is you will just get the standard opinion pretty much, compared to what's out there. Either too general or else stuff that is industry sponsored and promoted.

[januwaheedaw]

This video is really great/amazed in soo many ways💪👍👍👍
Nothing can provide these truthful videos but only your batman series
