Can AI Build a speaker?

What Say You?

With retirement looming, I might be brave enough to give it an AI assisted go.

I like my Behringer....learn curve is a tad steep, but you can pick flavors of type.

You might check out Sweetwater.....sells used, free shipping...👍

I pinch pennies with a vengeance.... ;)

A few months ago I attempted to speed up my search for woofers with a particular set of characteristics, among which was having one or more demodulation rings (also known as "shorting rings" or "Faraday rings"). The answers I received were WRONG more often than right! I found out by checking the data sheet of every recommendation. In some cases I even contacted the manufacturer to double-check whether the data sheets were correct, just in case the AI had a reliable source of information I was unaware of. Nope.

The AI presented its incorrect recommendations as if they were absolute facts, with no clue in the wording that there was any uncertainty or any possibility of error.
 
If AI is this unreliable when it comes to selecting drivers based on their published data sheets, I think it would be an act of extreme optimism, shall we say, to entrust AI with any of the actual loudspeaker design process.
 
Imo @erik_squires gave you the best advice.

AI is lazy and doesn't bother to check the facts.  It just looks for what's popularly promulgated on the 'net and goes with that.

Yes AI can be convincing in its delivery of content and the uneducated are often seduced by it. I suspect AI will be the next influencer in audio.
