I'd argue that AI _can_ currently provide that, but that it can't do it _reliably_, and that to non-experts it's impossible to differentiate, which makes it all the more dangerous.

What is needed are studies that will take a cold look at the actual results because AI seems to be required to be perfect or it is useless. It just needs to be as good as a human for most stuff, but in the long run it will be much better. At least that what extrapolating current reality shows us.
Some of this might be applicable to LLMs, but some isn’t and much of it would be resisted. This is one reason we’re not likely to get “as good as a human” because at some level we’re not optimizing for the outcomes; we’re optimizing for speed, convenience, some participant’s economics, and underlying beliefs.
The LLM also gave me a bunch of questions to ask a new PT but I didn't have the understanding to judge the responses so I did more research. One of the things the LLM wanted me to ask about was questions about form and force closure and ideally would get a response about the oblique sling across the back. My PT didn't give me that exact response, but explained it in much more lay person terms, but because I had done my research I was able to validate their response was directionally correct. And so far, my experience with this PT has been much better. We're doing block pulls at 70% of my prior deadlift weight, next week we're going to go way back on weight and lower it some to get closer to proper deadlifting and work in some asymmetric loading exercises.
And in keeping with our theme of the limits of both LLMs and humans, unfortunately many exercise and medical professionals may not focus on how some specific genetic lots work until a catastrophic problem presents itself.

So glad you found better advice than this!
LLMs are fantastic tools for exploring a topic, coming up with good questions and lines of understanding to pursue with professionals, and in picking professionals. I think they're also poor outright replacements for people especially when it comes to deep and important domains, but still quite useful.
Injury was to my SI joint, I've historically always irritated it lifting, but I set a new PR for deadlifts and it was debilitating for 3 weeks before my other half made me stop being stubborn and see a doctor about it.
I've also had my left shoulder joint surgically repaired after multiple dislocations.
