Are we overcomplicating everything with AI?
by•
I cannot help but notice that 3/4 products launched have AI in the description. AI is amazing, but is it really always necessary?
For example in my niche, Health & Fitness, most apps try to use as many data points as possible and use AI to give you the “optimal workouts”. That sounds good on paper, but actually I think most people would benefit more from a simple structure that is easy to follow and understand. Overcomplicating metrics such as recovery scores might do more damage than good, noceboing you into feeling like you are tired and can’t hit your workout that day.
In truth, most people are not professional athletes and do not need to have the most optimal workout plan (their daily tasks do not allow it anyway. Also pros rely on subjective metrics much more than we usually realise). I think sometimes simpler is better.
But I want to hear from you. Do you think we are overusing AI to the detriment of our products sometimes?
