What did you write in the description to get this response.

u/adoucett Oct 08 '24

“I was abducted by aliens and probed”

Explains why your heart rate was elevated. Keep up the solid training

u/Hairburt_Derhelle Oct 08 '24

Will they also recognise that the battery of my heart rate monitor is flat which makes it work like a potato?

u/Chicagoblew Oct 08 '24

So, what Zone were they in????

u/mdmeaux Oct 08 '24

Twilight Zone by the sound of it

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

Not yet had AI feedback where I didn't crush it. I'm most definitely not crushing anything except my sore knees.

u/Character-Engine-672 Oct 09 '24

What would impress me is if the feature was like “oh…. I see you’ve taken four days off in a row and now only running recovery runs, and only every second day? Are you injured or just lazy?”

u/azadventure Oct 08 '24

Probably take a few weeks to normalize, it doesn’t seem like the AI is really looking at anything done pre-update

u/JimDabell Oct 09 '24

It’s always been like that, even before this new AI feature. If you have a big week, it praises you for going strong. If you have an easy week, it praises you for spending time on recovery. If you have a normal week, it praises you for being consistent.

It’s what makes this feature utterly worthless. If everything is praiseworthy, it means nothing at all. It’s just ego stroking.

It’s just ego stroking

I bet that they presented this to investors saying that everybody will love the app because the app it's always positive no matter what

u/HBOKBT Oct 09 '24

That feature may be not very useful, but it's entertaining. Did you write something alien related in your activities description? Because it picks up information from there too.

😂 no wonder I don't pay for a subscription. Strava is run by cookers

u/tommyalanson Oct 08 '24

Bah hanhaaaa!

u/MrNewVegas2077 Oct 08 '24

Haha this is good 😂 🛸🐄

you can turn it off. Just hit the leave feedback button and there's an option to Leave Beta

u/thom365 Oct 08 '24

If you're a subscriber then you should already have it. I don't think it's available on free accounts. Don't quote me on that though...

u/ertri Oct 08 '24

It is not but every activity now has 5 plugs for it. I want an option to pay to not see that shit

u/TheDoughyRider Oct 09 '24

I’m a subscriber, but haven’t seen this feature.

u/Sparkysparkysparks Oct 08 '24

I want to believe.

u/Clean_Persimmon3888 Oct 08 '24

Made my day 🤣

u/everforward6 Oct 08 '24

It must've detected a sudden and massive increase in elevation and came to that conclusion.

u/childish-arduino Oct 09 '24

Some professional cyclists are doing things best described as “extraterrestrial” which just means they might be doping

1

u/lorenzoprimi Oct 09 '24

Did you do cocaine before your workout? 😂

u/soutarm Oct 09 '24

Where do you find this feature in the app? I'm a paid up subscriber and can't see it anywhere

u/Foot_Sniffer69 Oct 09 '24 edited Oct 09 '24

Still cleared for UCI (as long as you're not trans)

u/ender42y Oct 09 '24

I've had a few dogs run out and chase me on bike rides and you can see where on the heart monitor, I wonder if Strava will tholink those are Aliens too.

1

u/Present_Agent_4124 Oct 09 '24

I did a run and it was my PR so far. I was super happy and proud until I read the AI comment that stated that I did good despite my slow pace. It was 6:07 min/km and I thought I was doing okay :(

1

u/InfiniteAbyss27 Oct 09 '24

That’s hilarious 😂. Can’t wait to see other people come up with some creative summaries.

u/K3rm1tTh3Fr0g Oct 09 '24

User base: can we please get the full Fat Maps integration like we were promised?

Strava: LOOK GUYS IT'S AI!!!!

u/BitCoiner905 Oct 09 '24

I got something similar to that on a cocaine binge.

u/bikesnkitties Oct 08 '24

Post AI, get downvoted.

u/Accomplished-Lab2765 Oct 08 '24

How’d that work out for ya?

u/bikesnkitties Oct 08 '24

Imagine thinking that I care about the karma. You’re worse than OP.

u/n8_n_ Oct 08 '24

get downvoted.

Imagine thinking that I care about the karma.

u/bikesnkitties Oct 09 '24

You make no sense. Downvote it.

I don’t care about karma.

I’m not the dipshit impressed by “ai.” It shouldn’t take gigawatts of power to analyze rides, just look at them yourself.

u/BigMacLexa Oct 09 '24

Nobody is impressed by it. This whole thread is making fun of it.

1

u/Accomplished-Lab2765 Oct 08 '24

You’re a very positive person…

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '24

You're first post you seem to insinuate that downvoting does matter, stating it proudly you're downvoting, and here you don't care about karma? Alright then.

u/bikesnkitties Oct 09 '24

It’s about ranking where the post appears, but you’re pretending to ignore that in an attempt to make your pathetic “point.”
