Hello, does anybody know how to turn off this new feature AI FTP prediction? It is so demotivating…

Thanks!
Is it more demotivating to see the predicted future FTP, and then be able to change your plan to make it more palatable, than to not see the predicted FTP, continue down your current path, and then get that (unseen) FTP the next time you update it?
I follow multi activity path, with some activities dominating in various periods. And cannot modify the general plan to ride stronger just to maintain the ftp. I do not question general usefulness of this feature, but for me it does not work. So it is good that I could turn it off

What exactly does switching off mean: Do I switch off the AIFTP altogether? Most likely not.
But what happens with the predictions then?
I am overreacting in a psychological way and so I don’t want to see the prediction on the dashboard.
Don’t get me wrong: I like the AIFTP and after some getting used to it I fully support the changes!
Thank you! What does the calendar look like?
It still has the placeholder there… but it doesn’t display a number.
If prediction is turned off the workouts after that date are simulated with your current FTP rather than the new number.
I prefer predicted AI FTP off. Seeing the future change does more harm than good, imo.
Even since TR rolled out the power profile for each workout, I’ve found it’s better to focus on that. It’s been to see where in the power profile i am improving today rather than see a number in 28 days.
I’ve noticed it’s done a better job of keeping me motivated. It’s been said several times, “the best predictor of performance is performance itself,” and no better place to see that then the power profile.
Finally, i feel the forum would be more subdued if the focus was on how users power profile were improving based on their workouts rather than changes to their predicted FTP.
I was ok with the AI FTP prediction at first and didn’t mind the up’s and down’s it showed as I went through the workouts. However, now I have an injury related to a crash that has forced me to ride less consistently for several weeks. I’m gradually starting to add short endurance rides back in now, but seeing my predicted FTP plummet because I am being cautious about my return to regular riding is highly demotivating. I honestly wish I could turn the simulation window off completely and not have it show on my calendar until I get back to regular riding.
Ditto. Not sure why it needs to be present for those that turn it off?
I also can’t understand why the only place to access the switch is the calendar, vs all the other settings in the main section that controls “Settings”. Fine to list on the Calendar too, but took me more time than it should have to find and disable the option.
Definitely agree with this. I turned AIFTP off .
Same here for turning the prediction off. It was super motivating in the spring when the numbers were always on an upward trend and I was very excited for prediction to be released. I love riding my bike in the summer time and going over any assigned ride duration seems to drop your FTP, which fully makes sense. It just began to feel like I was being punished for riding my bike more. I still enjoy my workouts and ride hard, but I don’t need to be told that my work is making me weaker. Honestly, I’d rather just turn off my FTP altogether and just use workout levels. Let those numbers go up and down with my FTP throttling it behind the scenes.
I think the best thing that I’ve done is turn it off during the 28 days.
After the last workout before detection day I turn it on for about a day or two just to see what the Detection would be and what it Predicts for the next cycle, then it’s back off for the next 28 days.
I know if I have to rate a workout harder that it was predicted I’ll most likely take an AIFTP prediction hit but at least not seeing the number fluctuate I less stressful so I can focus on the workouts.
