Can technology make sports more equal, or does it only widen the gap between competitors?

I think yes and no because say if you have prosthetic leg and your all sports include running, jogging and walking. That could help you keep doing the things you love because i know people with prosthetic legs or a serious injury may get told that they should stop their sport. Which is stopping them enjoy life , i know some people with 'disabilites' feel like they cant enjoy life without being capable to do that. The people who might disagree are other athletes/olympic winnersand there family to support their decision who don't understand the term equtiy.

I also think no because if you don't have a grave injury you should simply use skill , talent and practise. Some people have been doing their sport since they were a toddler. Maybe one of their parents were a gymnast or a figureskater and they want their child to live up to their expectation.

Using Ai or technolgy when you don't need to is along the lines of cheating in my opinion. Have you ever cheated on a test?? How did it make you feel? Guilt?Imagine your doing a sport and used ai to help or make you win you would feel guilty? I certaintly would. Tech has pushed records up, but i wouldn't call it a real record. At the end of the day its just my opinion. Why ? you ask. The Ai uses the human body as a puppet metaphorically. It is human achivement i.e science . But science dosen't always link with sport.

Would you ever use tech for sports??
