Will AI. Minimize the Design differences of audio


With AI ‘s ability to search the world in seconds for audio designs will we get to the point of nominal  sound differences in equipment

right now it seems most differences are in parts used not necessary design

The AI's are really good at questions like: "Compare the sound characteristics between x and y amp". It gets a little more iffy if you ask for recommendations, as it has access to lots of marketing info and it can be a little less discriminating... feeding back a survey of marketing information instead of well balanced experience. The questions are really important. But for some aspects it is really good. 

@sawbuck i started out listening my basic equipment, looking for weakest link recommendations (very similar to discussions on this forum). Then continued to refine my input to include details like interconnects, PC’s, tweeks etc. You can then begin an ongoing discussion. it knows the sound signature of your components and recommends upgrades based upon that. 
I somewhat agree with @ghdprentice, that it knows marketing, but properly done, has also read all the discussion forums, so should know much more. I found it to be quite insightful. 

It can be a very useful tool in other arts as well. As a concert photographer, I sometimes use it to remove mic stands in front of performers or amps in the background that are just distractions. But I certainly don't just turn it loose and say 'Make me a picture', though if I learned prompting and other aspects of it well enough, I could be an AI artist as well; I have played around with that for a bit. 

No, but AI will maximize the hype in ads for products that make no difference at all.  laugh
