Is AI taking over audio gear research?


an audio dealer recommends talking to AI.  

It's getting better and better and better. I think ai deep analysis of all things audio is impressive to the nth degree.  Of course eventually you're gonna have to listen to something before making a purchase decision.

a lot depends on Web available source data and it's difficult to get a sense as to how extensive available material is being reviewed by AI, clearly it's vast.  The truly impressive aspects are continuing to improve inference capabilities. I am far from an expert in audio stuff but I do recognize some really impressive comments being made by AI. I find myself asking lots of questions about certain gear and asking for comparisons to other gear. I have a running thread that's probably the length of the Bible at this point and that's the better way to do it rather than doing a bunch of individual threads although now ChatGPT is accessing all the threads so it may not matter much but it's still better to keep it all within one extended thread.  I approach things with healthy skepticism.

ai takes initiative. It anticipate things I have not thought of. I am using ChatGPT pro. I think free Gemini AI sucks and make lots of errors.

I don't type into ChatGPT I dictate everything and that makes it more effective. I can use extended thoughts and questions and basically compose several sentences of content before I submit.  It can handle lots of twisted info. 

I thought I'd share all this.

Who's the dealer?   I'll most definitely avoid him !!!    A Hegel amp and Wharfdale Lintons would not be my first choice in a $6k system......  not that are bad but it's either those or KEF LS50 that always seem to pop up.  

All good stuff , just some unlikely pairings.

Where's Waldo...and...what thought doesn't comport with the others (Hint: It's the only one with any real relevance & it's emboldened).

"Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see." — Edgar Allen Poe

Poe's commentary was pertinent in 1845 and continually thereafter; but with the advent of LLM's, it is exponentially more pertinent to view the inflow of ANY and ALL information (from ALL sources -- family, friends, entertainment, so called news and especially AI's) as Poe advised! 

That is, to navigate a world 100% full of purposeful and non-purposeful misinformation/disinformation, biases, agendas, illusions and human error: 

Believe Everything...Trust Nothing!   

 

 

I've toyed around with it, but you have to be careful as a number of times the responses haven't had the totally correct information regarding the component makeup and/or functionality of specific equipment
