AI Can’t Understand the Thrills of Human Adrenaline — Yet

Relax, for now.

ChatGPT doesn’t fully grasp the wild appeal of hurtling face-first at 140 km/h down a twisting, ice-walled track on a wheeled fiberglass sled with no brakes. How could it?

After all, racing skeleton isn’t about logic — it’s about adrenaline, the quest for speed, and a thirst for the ultimate rush.

Imagine this: you’re determined to go as fast as humanly possible.

No brakes, no steering wheel, just a thin layer of Lycra between you and the ice.

Your only protection is a lightweight helmet.

And what do you gain from it? Not fame, not fortune — just the sheer thrill.

This is skeleton, a winter sport so daring that most wouldn’t dream of trying it.

I’ve never raced skeleton myself, but I had the chance to shoot down the legendary St. Moritz Cresta Run in a monobob, which is basically a high-speed racing bathtub on razor blades.

Trust me, it’s semi-crazy.

Now, where does AI fit into all this?

We’ve seen how LLMs like ChatGPT has shaken industries, sparking excitement and fear, and earning the title of “game-changer.”
