Can AI Build a speaker?

AI can be amazing.  AI can also be pathetic....it’s very capable of making significant errors, and it does so with some surprising frequency.  I've had several confused moments with Chat GPT..  (Proceed with caution, but verify!)

NO! I had a friend I saw design speakers using computers. I asked him how done they were before listening. He said 95%. His speakers were good and I saw this process. But behind his use of the computer was 40 years of designing and listening and knowing relationships of design and what he heard. A n AI program never heard even one speaker. So it can do a technically competent design. But all the technology out there doesn't fully describe sound yet. So it probably will design a decent speaker, maybe even a good one but if it's great it's a coincidence.

I cheat....
A digital Xover combined with 2 eqs' with RTA, line or mic.
Use of RT displays of various sorts...again, line or mic'd.

Read the results and apply, tweek as desired.
Since I'm diy-ing drivers, it beats cut 'n try with drivers' known characteristics rendered nil by brutal surgery without painkillers....

...at least, to the mechanism....the surgeon? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😎

@asvjerry glad you mentioned that! After more thought why bother with  all those parts.  An external digital crossover is much easier and more flexible!   THinking that's how I would roll.

Good variable factors, @mapman ...
Enclosure design teeters on the design of a wooden maze in a small enclosure.  I can see while open baffles are trendy for dipoles, an omni has it’s own weirdnesses.  

I’m fooling around with acoustic suspension, a la the old AR’s.... It heats up the voice coils, but the thought is to self-spec units made to be abused....

I.e., instrument speakers, Kapton forms, venting....stuff that can handle the heat.  When the ’backside’ of the magnet gets hot to the touch, the norm is about to fry.

At least I’m my own warranty dept., and I know how to fix it..... ;)

No shipping issues....time lag?  'Ehhh...' *L*
