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.

AI is a great tool, but you can’t rely everything on it. I recently challenged AI on crossover design information that it was giving out. Granted it was about phasing,  slopes and proper impedance compensation . In the end it came back and said my points are correct and it would update its information. If someone would have taken that exact information that I was speaking about. They would have incorrectly built or modified a crossover. You never know you, do need to verify AI. After speaking with a college professor that teaches AI, she said AI is off in some way around 15 percent of the time. I hope this helps, Tim

I have found Google Gemini to be a useful reflective tool. Although any specific recommendations need to been taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes, it makes statements with an air of absolute authority that is unwarranted. I suspect it’s telling me what I want to hear.

AI is aware of this thread and is getting p*ssed off.

Beware of AI retribution! (place "laughing" emoji here)

The prompt means everything. We tend to oversimplify the prompt thinking that Ai knows what we want or mean. 
I asked Ai about wire emitting RF and it said wire is a passive part and does not emit RF.  
Then I asked it about why power wires were needing to be twisted pair and it told me to reduce  RF.

On the first prompt it was literally referring to a piece of wire with no other context.

I asked Google Gemini how it considers AI can help us with hifi.

It suggested that there are three distinct areas where progress is currently being made.

  • The Digital Room Boundary,
  • The Component Workbench, and
  • The Curated Music Library.
