A Ukrainian athlete won silver at the Paralympic Games using ChatGPT as a coach.
The Ukrainian national team has made a confident start to its performance at the Winter Paralympic Games. The determination and perseverance of the Ukrainian athletes are inspiring many, but one of them has revealed a secret weapon in his quest to gain a competitive advantage, writes The Guardian.
Maxim Murashkovsky, who won a silver medal in the visually impaired men's biathlon on March 8 without missing a single shot, worked with a large language model from OpenAI.
"I've been training with ChatGPT for the last six months," he said. "It wasn't just about tactics. It was half my training plan, motivation, and so much more. It was a huge part of my entire preparation. I used it as a psychologist, a coach, even sometimes as a therapist."
On the subject: How much does an Olympic medal cost? Record prices for gold and silver are driving up the cost of awards.
Murashkovsky looked remarkably calm after finishing comfortably second in just his second Paralympic race.
“I know it sounds strange, but I’ve been preparing for this race for many years,” he noted.
The 25-year-old athlete believes AI has allowed him to train in a new way.
"I believe in it. It's a revolutionary technology," Maxim concluded, specifying that it replaced what he called "classical" training: "The way I've always done it before, with people."
Artificial intelligence is also being used in the war in Ukraine – to find targets and analyze satellite images.
"Unfortunately, we know how AI is used in war," he emphasized. "I use it for education, for learning languages, for some of my projects, as well as in chemistry, biology, and sports."
