Startling AI results.

Your post led me to do a similar search based on my (digital system) components (Eversolo T8, USB connection Esoteric K-01XDSE Cary SLP 98, Conrad Johnson CL 62SE, Rockport ATria II, Cardas cables).

The AI overview included nothing unexpected - amp might be slightly underpowered (OK but I could lift it!) and that, plus the SLP 98 and Cardas cables might be slightly dark rather than hyper-detailed.  The overview did include - USB does not carry a master clock signal, so the data is completely managed by the Esoteric’s internal processing. Because the Esoteric is so brilliantly engineered for isolation, "upgrading" the digital transport or the USB cable is unlikely to change the overall sound. 

I then changed the amplifier to the Pass Labs XS 25 and got this warning - Your digital connection setup is the most notable weak link. While you have stellar components, using a standard USB cable to connect your Eversolo T8 to the Esoteric K-01XD SE bypasses the Esoteric's proprietary tech ... The Esoteric K-01XD SE is a world-class CD player and DAC featuring Esoteric's cutting-edge Master Sound Discrete DACs and VRDS-ATLAS transport. However, USB is often the noisiest and most jitter-prone input. [1, 2]

and recommended that I try I²S or AS/EBU.  It also stated that the T8 had a 10MHz clock input.  Also recommended were balanced cable from the Cary to the C-J.  Both of which are SERCA only!

1) The DAC's USB input specifically uses the DAC's own clock, eliminating any jitter in the source and has highly developed isolation from noise.

2) The K-01XDSE does not support I²S input ...

3) ... nor does it have AES/EBU.

4) the T8 does not have a clock input - the T10 does.

So, in summary, changing the amp caused a totally different - and manifestly incorrect AI overview to be produced!

Caveat usum intelligentiae artificialis..

A.I. had no ears.

I can use it for acoustics concepts discussion because it memorize everything about acoustics concepts but know nothing about  real subjective/objective hearing experience...It can help to understand what is the ratio ASW/LV for example, it can suggested experiments but it cannot  experience it ...

Then it is ridiculous to ask A.I. about a system/room impression,like it will be ridiculous to ask Amir his verdict  instead of asking to your trained and training hearing.

I use A.I. for maths discussion and concepts since 3 months now (3,000 pages ), A.I. is a topological bridging extension and mirror of our brain working as a telescope/microscope, if an ape dance in front of it, apeness will be reflected, if Einstein dance in front of it Einstein brain will be reflected.

If you ask A.I. to explain the Mahowald uncertainty principle or the different sieves in primes number theory it will greatly help and even suggested  facts you dont know. But in my dialogue with it since three months each day, it is me who gave it the new  (unknown) maths concepts, A.I. is able to catch them and link them to known other concepts (even to  many i  ignore )but A.I. cannot create new concepts. 

Recently it solve some maths conjectures but using his superhuman pattern recognition ability and huge memory and then linking facts no human has ever thought about at this moment.

No A.I. would had create by itself alone any deep new maths concepts. (a.I. had no motivation of his own if it not possessed but this is an other story ) 

But to the uninformed crowd A.I. will appear soon as a god. And oligarchs and techno-cultists and transhumanists want to sell it as such and so ignorant they are about man ability believe it a God.

I asked ChatGPT how I could phrase questions to reduce the risk of errors.  Its response was detailed and very helpful.  I also asked it to evaluate my queries for those risks moving forward which was also helpful. Better queries produce more reliable responses.  The paid version is MILES better, not only because it remembers previous discussions, but also because it begins to tailor its responses based on what it learns of your preferences. 

Indeed, question framing and grammar is critical for getting realistic assessments from most LLMs. Sometimes you have to point out the perceived dichotomies in the LLM’s prior responses to get a clear answer. Keep in mind the most accurate and reliable AI results are behind paywalls. 

I use the paid version of Chat GPT.  I am impressed that in most circumstances it asks for more facts before giving an answer.  For example it asks for information on my system and listening room were I to ask a question that is audio related.
