A sign instructing San Francisco gym-goers to refrain from writing code or prompting AI during their workouts went viral. The sign, which read "Be present. Lift harder. Ship later," was purported to be an AI-generated fake, according to the gym. Fitness SF, a Bay Area chain of gyms, confirmed that the image was indeed an AI-generated fake, despite the gym having other etiquette signs that mentioned phone usage and being courteous.
The gym's director of marketing, Troy Macfarland, acknowledged that the image was manipulated, although it is unclear whether the alteration was done using AI, Photoshop, or another tool. The sign capitalized on the current tech frenzy, where AI coding and gym culture have become increasingly intertwined.
