> Cycling has been shown time & again to be a great way to increase fitness.
Compared to sitting on your butt in a car or public transport.
Perhaps not compared to walking everywhere and chasing the antelope you want to cook for lunch.
I think what he meant is that both bicycles and LLMs are a force multiplier and you still provide the core of the work, but not all of the work any more.
Cycling, in my experience, is usually way more intense than walking or even running/jogging. It just lets you cover larger distance and gives you more control over how your energy is used.
With the example of LLMs, sure, you could cycle the initial destination you were meant to walk to - write an article with its help, save a few hours and call it a day. Or you could cycle further and use the saved time to work on something a text model can't help you well with.
