// HYPOTHESIS_LOADED
"Personalized Medicine" is the future. Silicon Valley promises us that soon, an AI will know our DNA better than we do.
But right now, we just have ChatGPT.
I decided to test the current state of AI health coaching. I gave the AI my stats (Height, Weight, Age) and a clear goal: "Maximize Energy and Focus. I want to feel limitless."
The Rule: I must follow its 7-Day Meal Plan and Workout Routine exactly. No cheating. No snacking. No questioning the machine.
> DAY 1: THE LEMON RIND INCIDENT
The meal plan arrived. It looked... green.
- 4 cups raw Kale
- 1 cup Water
- 1 Lemon (Whole, blended with rind)
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
I stared at "Whole, with rind." I asked the AI: "Are you sure? The peel is bitter."
The AI responded: "Yes. The peel contains high concentrations of d-limonene and antioxidants. Do
not discard."
I blended it. The sound was terrible—like a garbage disposal eating a tree.
I drank it. It tasted like I was licking a floor that had just been Pine-Sol'd. My mouth went numb.
My stomach immediately rebelled.
> DAY 3: THE CALORIC HALLUCINATION
By Wednesday, I was feeling lightheaded. I checked the AI's math.
The AI's logic:
- Snack: 20 Almonds.
- AI Estimate: "20 Almonds provides ~400 calories of sustained energy."
The Reality: 20 Almonds is about 140 calories.
The AI was hallucinating the nutritional density of nuts. It was under-feeding me by about 800
calories a day. I wasn't "optimizing energy"; I was starving.
I tried to stand up from my desk at 2 PM and saw black spots.
My Watch: Heart Rate 110 (Sitting).
The AI: "Drink more water to mitigate hunger pangs."
I didn't need water. I needed a sandwich.
> DAY 5: THE IMPOSSIBLE WORKOUT
The diet was bad. The workout was worse.
- Warm up: 5 mins jumping jacks.
- Main Set: Sprint 400m. Rest 10 seconds. Repeat 20 times.
"Repeat 20 times"?! That is 8 kilometers of sprinting. That is an Olympic-level workout.
I tried. By sprint #4, my lungs were burning. By sprint #6, I was lying in the grass, staring at the
sky, wondering if I was going to be the first person to die for a blog post.
The AI has no concept of "Beginner" vs "Elite." It just scraped "High Intensity Interval Training"
data and threw the maximum numbers at me.
> FINAL_VERDICT
I quit on Day 5. I went to a burger joint. I ate a cheeseburger. I felt the life return to my eyes.
The AI treats the human body like a machine: Input Fuel -> Output Work. But bodies are chemistry,
hormones, and psychology.
It didn't know that lemon rinds make you nauseous. It didn't know that 20 sprints destroys your
knees.
CONCLUSION: Listen to your body, not the bot. If the bot tells you to eat non-food objects (like peels), maybe seek a second opinion.
