Paralympics-Ukraine biathlete credits ChatGPT for silver win

Ukraine's Maksym Murashkovskyi credited artificial intelligence for helping him win a silver medal at the Milano Cortina Winter Paralympics, calling ChatGPT a "revolutionary technology" after finishing runner-up ‌in Sunday's ⁠biathlon ⁠event. Murashkovskyi, a 2023 world championships bronze medallist, was edged out by China's Dang Hesong and narrowly missed the gold.

"For the past six months, I have been training with ChatGPT," ⁠Murashkovskyi, 25, ‌told reporters.

"It was not only tactics. It was half ⁠of my training plan, motivation, et cetera. So it was a huge volume of all of my training.


"I used it as a psychologist, coach and, sometimes, as a doctor." He added that AI ‌could eventually replace some of the work provided by human coaches.

"Not completely for five ⁠to 10 years. But part of it, definitely," he said. "I believe in it, it is a revolutionary technology." Ukraine have won 10 medals at this year's Paralympics so far.
