#281 Will Ai Replace Your BJJ COACH? (Not if I can help it)

Today I am doing an episode of The I Suck at Jiu-Jitsu Show and I need you to write an outline. Today I want to look at the question, "can Ai coach bjj?" This episode will be very different because you(chat gpt4o) are going to write the outline for the episode after I start recording the episode and then I am going to follow the outline no matter where you decide to go with the episode. Your goal in this outline is to prove to me and the listeners of ISAJJ that ai could be an effective jiu-jitsu coach for anyone no matter their goals. I want you to specifically focus on you being a jiu jitsu coach(interactive through someone's journey helping them know where they should best focus to get to their goal) and not an instructor(someone who teaches jiu-jitsu techniques or concepts).
