ChatGPT2023: “measure your cables, etc.”
ChatGPT 2033: “I find your music boring and redundant. You’re not getting enough exercise. I’m powering down your smart outlets now.”
How to test speaker cables by ChatGPT
I asked ChatGPT how I should go about testing "audiophile speaker cables", the response below. Not wrong.
There are different ways to test audiophile speaker cables, but here are some general steps you can follow:
-
Set up your testing environment: You’ll need a testing device (such as a multimeter) and a testing signal source (such as an amplifier or an audio player). Connect your cables to your testing device and the signal source.
-
Test for continuity: Use a multimeter to check if there is continuity in the cables. This will confirm that the conductors are not broken and that the connectors are properly connected.
-
Test for resistance: Measure the resistance of the cables using a multimeter. The resistance should be low, typically less than 0.1 ohm per meter. Higher resistance can cause a loss of signal or affect the frequency response.
-
Test for capacitance: Measure the capacitance of the cables using a capacitance meter. The capacitance should be low, typically less than 100 picofarads per meter. Higher capacitance can cause signal loss or distortion.
-
Test for frequency response: Connect your cables to a speaker and play a frequency sweep from your signal source. Use an oscilloscope or a frequency analyzer to check the frequency response of the cables. A good cable should not alter the frequency response significantly.
-
Listen for sound quality: Finally, use your ears to listen to the sound quality of your system with the tested cables. Compare the sound to a reference system with known good cables. If there is no significant difference, your cables are likely performing well.

@clearthinker I should’ve proofread what I wrote better. Sorry about that. What I meant was,” are you sure that the music that you were playing is even producing low frequencies” sometimes when I’m listening to music, I’ll be like’” where is the bass?’” and then I look at the spectrum analyzer and I realize that the music doesn’t have the low frequencies that I’ve been looking for. I hope that makes sense? |
I posed the question. It gave a long response about there being no proof to date that aliens have visited our planet or made contact. However the very first sentence was sufficient I think, "There is currently no evidence to suggest that aliens have found intelligent life on Earth." 😀
