And in other news, how to walk: First you must learn to balance on your 2 chubby legs. Next lift one foot and put it down a bit in front of you. Tip forward a bit and quickly lift your other foot and place it in front of the first one. Keep doing this until you fall over.

Next lesson: how to stop without falling on your bum.

I love the foot strap thing , got to try that .
There was a mention of getting low to reduce drag , ( I'm presuming wind drag ) , is it actually a thing ? Will I go faster squatting down ? Is that why I'm not cracking 50 kts ?

8. Remove your fin to reduce drag , you'll go faster

Doesn't ChatGPT know that you have to buy new sails/boards to go fast?

Better to ask from expert then ai site

I disagree with #5. Instead of railing the board toward the wind, you should rail the board away from the wind by pointing your toes. This gets you more on the fin and reduces the wetted area. Formula and slalom racers practiced this all the time to get more speed. It works.

And your thoughts on #5 ??

Windward rail down is slow. Windward rail up is fast

Nobody mentioned pulling the centre skeg out and hanging it on your elbow .

I guess chat sources all it's info from the net, I even asked it how to build a 10mhz gps and it came up with what was needed, sourced from seabreeze maybe?

It's quite a mistake, it'd make sense only heading upwind. Yet, the number one thing to do to go faster is... to head downwind

Well, you know, can't ask too much. ChatGPT has never been windsurfing, and I am not so sure if it knows what windsurfing is. To bridge that gap I asked if it would like to try windsurfing and it said "I am an artificial intelligence and do not have physical capabilities, so I am not able to participate in windsurfing. Is there anything else I can assist you with?"

I am not sure about the "intelligent" part, but for sure this artificial thing thinks it can actually assist people. Bit full of itself, I think.

I think they will be great at figuring out our favorite movies or series to watch and when to change the oil, tires, or whatever else. We need more intelligence on the dumb things possibly.

Nup not from SB chatgpt has only learnt from data up to 2021 and I believe proper published info... it hasn't been scouring the Internet and confusing itself with all the bull****. Imagine how confuse it would be if it had

SKYNET

Not motivating enough.

Try it being yelled at.
