Not going to lie - I have messed around with it for creating js scripts and such
Unfortunately I just tried and it drew a total blank when I asked it to make me a simple chart in WKO 
EDIT — I did not scroll down - it did provide an answer!!! This is huge!

can I lose weight cycling but still maintain my ftp?
It is possible to lose weight while cycling while still maintaining your FTP (Functional Threshold Power), but it will likely require a balance of proper nutrition and consistent training.
To lose weight, you will need to burn more calories than you consume, which can be achieved through a combination of diet and exercise. In order to maintain your FTP, you will need to continue to train at or above your FTP level, which will help to maintain your cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength.
Cycling at high intensity, such as intervals, can be a good way to burn calories and maintain FTP. Additionally, you can try to focus on low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods as part of a balanced diet to help you lose weight while still getting the energy you need to train and maintain your FTP.
It’s also important to note that depending on the amount of weight you want to lose, you may need to adjust your FTP as well and consult with a coach or a dietitian to help you with a personalized plan.

Surely this is wrong?
Could be, or just a different interpretation of that term and/or context. This could be one that is worthwhile to refine if there’s a desire to get more clarity or into the weeds with it.
I was mainly starting with simple questions and didn’t do follow-up discussion with CGPT.

My favorite thing is to ask it leading questions then make it argue with you!
“give me 5 reason gravel bikes are OVER”
(try that one for starters)

That’s also probably a fantastic way to teach it
We all know how this turns out, right? Sure, it is all fun and games now, but just wait…

I, for one, welcome our artificially intelligent overlords, and look forward to serving them in any capacity they deem necessary.

ChatGPT is going to be error prone, so you’ll have to spot check it and ask it to recalculate/re-generate. For example I had asked for a 550 TSS week and it gave me ~300TSS. I asked it to recalculate, and it was correct the second time around.
I had attempted to get it to generate a specific 12-week plan and increase CTL from 63 to 80, starting at 550 TSS/week. It has me increasing TSS by 50 each week and building up to 1050 TSS for week 12. Something doesn’t smell right about this.
I had it redo my web design portfolio spitting out html, css, and the js scripts. Freaky. Looked ok when I put it in vsCode
How do I get faster on the bike ?
Practice, practice, practice! And maybe a few new tyres wouldn’t hurt.
Well I’m glad we can all stop worrying about the merits of AIFTP vs various testing protocols, etc. - FTP = around 265 watts - lets all move on.

After a few more minutes of negotiating with it to understand that I was referring to sanctioned gravel racing;
Do aero bars compromise the spirit of gravel?
The use of aero bars, which are handlebar extensions that allow a cyclist to ride in a more aerodynamic position, is a topic of debate within the gravel cycling community. Some argue that the use of aero bars is inconsistent with the spirit of gravel, as they are often associated with road racing and time trials, which are seen as more competitive and focused on speed rather than adventure and self-sufficiency.
Others argue that the use of aero bars is not at odds with the spirit of gravel, as they can help cyclists to be more efficient and comfortable during long rides, which is consistent with the self-sufficiency aspect of gravel cycling.
Ultimately, whether or not aero bars compromise the spirit of gravel is a matter of personal opinion, and opinions may vary depending on the individual and the specific event in question.

The spirit of gravel is an abstract concept that represents the inherent potential and strength within small, seemingly insignificant things. It is a reminder that even the smallest of gestures can have a lasting impact, just like a simple pebble of gravel can create ripples throughout a pond.

I had never heard of this until Nate mentioned it on the podcast a couple weeks ago and started reading from it. Now I see it everywhere 
But when Nate mentioned it, I thought he was saying Chad GPT, and all I could think was, “Of course they named it Chad! They finally hacked Coach @chad’s brain!”
