use of ChatGPT for HIFI


I have been using this really cool AI tool to evaluate System issues and gear comparisons and I’m blown away by its ability to do this. And it’s freaking free for my needs at this point

I provided details of all the components in my system and it remembers it in its memory and refers to the strengths and weaknesses of my system when choosing new gear to be integrated.  It creates a history of all that’s been discussed and is able to integrate it better than anyone can.  I can easily update it for gear that I’ve left out.

The ability to retrieve really good details about components is astounding. It suggests and provides tailored charts comparing component strengths and weaknesses. Additionally it offers ideas on additional things to consider. 

The depth of what it’s able to do is simply astounding.

What are your experiences in using this groundbreaking tool?

@emergingsoul It can be grossly inaccurate. For example it described our class D amps as zero feedback, which they are not; no idea where it got that from but it wasn't from our website... AI can hallucinate and so you can get incorrect results. I've seen it do that a number of times. Its free though; you get what you pay for.

I also have a lumin x1, what a great job combining a dac with a great streamer. 

Very impressed with chat Gpt but always keep in mind the accuracy aspect and upon challenging it at times it can either improve the results or correct itself.  After all, it’s entering a jungle of knowledge every time it pursues a response. And has no capacity to determine right from wrong which is why you should never trust robots with kids

To be clear...  I was not blindly following anything.  I thought my buddy’s urging at least deserved an experiment.  I came up with something I consider very obscure, even among audio enthusiasts...  Also happened to be a question I’ve been chasing answers for from within "our community" and gotten nothing concrete.  I'd get a direction to explore, procure a couple tubes, and make an incremental improvement on occasion.  I also never got anything like a complete analysis of my amp with my WE300Bs from sources through speakers with very specific tube recommendations.  Sounded compelling, but we've all become aware of the BS potential of AI.

Given the relatively cheap experiment to see if Chat’s recommendations were worth considering, I bought the tubes and ran the test.  I was skeptical, but for a few hundred bucks I’d rather take the next step and have an answer for my buddy when he asked about my AI experience next time.  The amazing part for me is I’m not sure how long it would have taken or even if I would have ever landed on the recommended tubes.  I was considering an upgrade to the latest "R" version of my amp, chasing the few remaining veils...  a $15K adventure... but think I’m going to be happy for a very long time with this tube mix.

Anyway, enjoy the ride and use AI if it can help you achieve that goal!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've often found it valuable on audio topics. 

AI is an incredible tool and is great fun learning its strengths and weaknesses. I have been employing it in more philosophy / forest and trees thoughts where it is simply incredible. While it isn’t usually good as the final word, it often is, provided you check its answers.
