Justin Gaethje has turned to an unlikely training partner: ChatGPT. Speaking with Helen Yee this week at the Celebrity Sweat flag football game at Cal Berkeley, "The Highlight" revealed how he's using AI to fine-tune his fight-day routine.
My ChatGPT knows that I'm about to fight," Gaethje explained. "I wanted to sit in the cold tub like, 'What do you think about cold tub on competition day?' Looking for reassurance. How long should I nap for? Because usually I want to nap for like 2 hours, but I just know it's not good. So just looking for all the information I can gather.
Data-Driven Discoveries
The research yielded some surprising results. "I asked a lot of different sources and turns out 25 minutes is the best time to nap," he said.
As for his beloved ice baths: "Turns out you don't necessarily want to get in the ice tub day of, but I really wanted to."
AI as Verification, Not Strategy
Gaethje was quick to clarify the limits of his AI reliance. While it can be a powerful productivity tool, he knows what not to use it for. =
I'm not asking how to beat somebody up," he said. "It's more like to know if you're right or wrong. It looks at all the sources. It's only people's opinions ultimately. It's just looking for the most common opinion. And then you take that information and adjust from there. But it's a good source of information.
When asked if he's a fan of AI technology, the always-honest fighter kept it simple: "I don't.. I'm neutral."
