My gym forced a social media down my throat. So I reverse-engineered its app

What's with all the negative comments here? I thought this was a reasonably interesting article about _actually hacking something_, whether this person needed to or not. You know, like in "HackerNews"?

I was going to post something positive, but it amounted to "good job, this is a clever way to use AI to improve your quality of life." But it seemed too basic and wouldn't serve as the nucleus for a discussion, so I didn't post it.

Being negative gives people something to talk about.

I didn't post a negative comment, but I found the article deeply unsatisfying. It didn't name the actual gym, and it didn't provide source code. There's nothing that binds it to the real world.

I'm not accusing the story of being a random prompt, but the fact that it could be AI slop makes it less interesting.
