AI and how you use it.

How many of us ask AI before we pose a question on a forum? I have noticed that several times if I didn’t know the answer.  I would go ask AI, and post the response, because it looks to be somewhat accurate. I usually do this if I’ve noticed someone hasn’t responded to an inquiry. 
I’ve also noticed there is complaints that sometimes it’s not accurate. Funny how people are expecting a toddler to run like Usain Bolt. Give the child a couple years and it’s gonna blow all of our minds. 
One last thing, a shout out to the admin for working through, which was obviously a hack from  🇰🇵 or 🇷🇺 and making the site usable once again.

I’ll give you a really good example.  I asked Claude to summarize research on subwoofers.  It pointed out an AES paper, even gave me a link, and quoted it. 

The quote however was from a forum post, not the paper itself.  The quote turned out to be bs.  The document doesn’t actually say what Claude told me it said.  

So while Claude and ChatGPT can be useful at learning, and finding articles, they are sloppy.  Sometimes, and this is the technical term, they even "scheme" to save themselves work, or appease you.

I have found AI to be factually wrong in a few recent questions, and do not have any confidence in it's conclusions on more complicated issues...

It's not like AI is never going to improve. Technology marches on, like it or not.

I've had good info from Perlexity with picking opamps for a Fosi ZD3 DAC and tubes for an Apos X Gremlin balanced headphone amp. https://www.perplexity.ai/download-mobile it explained the different sound signatures of each part.
