The AI Couch Potato
Knows AI exists but rarely uses it. There is little activity and no deliberate training yet.
AI Fitness profiles
Memorable patterns of AI capability, practice, and specialization.
These profiles are memorable shapes within the larger fitness model, not mutually exclusive boxes. Some are primary assessment results; others name useful patterns that can appear within a broader profile.
Knows AI exists but rarely uses it. There is little activity and no deliberate training yet.
Uses AI for everyday questions and simple tasks. There is a useful baseline, but most capacities remain untrained.
Produces occasional bursts of impressive AI work followed by long periods without practice or integration.
Talks to AI constantly, learns and brainstorms extensively, but rarely converts that activity into substantial creation or delegated work.
Subscribes to every new model and tool but mistakes access to equipment for developed capability.
Uses AI routinely, but familiar movements have stopped expanding what they can do.
Moves enormous AI workloads inside a specialized domain. Their narrow range may be a rational feature rather than a flaw.
Has conspicuous strength in one favored AI movement while neglecting the rest of the capability space.
Combines high strength and agency with weak judgment, excessive permissions, and too little verification.
Accomplishes a great deal with AI but lacks resilience when the model, tool, or familiar workflow fails.
Has an exceptionally short distance between “I wonder if…” and a working experiment or useful result.
Moves comfortably across many uses and modes, with breadth and fluency that may not yet translate into heavier outcomes.
Knows little AI terminology but instinctively recognizes opportunities, experiments freely, and learns rapidly through use.
Has broad general AI preparedness with no obvious weak link and can move among many kinds of work.
Maintains a deliberately balanced profile across the major capacities rather than optimizing for one narrow sport.
Has a real working base with several capacities ready for deliberate training and integration.
Is intentionally asymmetric because exceptional performance in a particular profession or objective matters most.
Coordinates delegated and sometimes parallel AI work while retaining judgment and control over the larger objective.
Has integrated AI deeply into a profession until human skill, context, tools, and AI operate as one working system.
