I asked Grok what the weakest link is and it said that I was. Be careful how you phrase the question when speaking with our AI overlords. 🤣
Startling AI results.
Shocking might be a better word. So I asked Google AI “what is the weak link in this system: a,b,c,d?” And I listed my streamer/dac, amp, speakers, and cables. No hesitation— the weak link was my speakers. Though good, they were older and couldn’t resolve to the level of my streamer and amp.
Then I changed one word; instead of “what’” I said “which is the weak…” again no hesitation, but this time it was the streamer. The speakers were excellent and would mercilessly (their word) expose any weakness upstream.
Then “who is the weak…”. Any guesses? The cables.
I’ll remember this next time I seek medical or financial advice, lol.

@goldenways "...I’m not sure what percentage of folks are using free version of AI vs paid services. There is a world of difference between free and paid. Exponentially.

I have been paid for over a year and use it all the time. So I posed this comment to ChatGPT. This is a summary of what it said. I definitely agree that for casual questions you will not see too much difference. A more accurate version would be:

AI is the most powerful tool humans have invented for learning. But as with any tool you must learn how to use it. What its strengths are, limitations what to give it as inputs and you have to verify outputs when it is important. Effective use of the tool requires experience. Know how to craft prompts to get what you want and what to verify. I suppose this will be taught at some point. It is too new. |
