    ChatGPT vs Microsoft CoPilot: Poor Execution or Bias?

    Alternatively it is doing what it is supposed to do, which is retrieving information and synthesis a reply without judgment. The judgment is still to make in your own hands. I would prefer this over a model that censors information and judges for me.

    ChatGPT vs Microsoft CoPilot: Poor Execution or Bias?

    I find it's very important to check the attribution of information. Here's an excerpt from Copilot as an example. The initial reply does not include any sources, but if you ask as a follow-up they are provided. I would in general be very skeptical of text-only replies without a source as these...

    ChatGPT vs Microsoft CoPilot: Poor Execution or Bias?

    There's no such thing as a "neutral" AI model. No matter what there is an editorial decision made by humans of what training data to feed the system. If you were making an audio system agent, should you train it on Audio Science Review? Audiogon? The collective works of Floyd Toole? Amazon.com...

    ChatGPT vs Microsoft CoPilot: Poor Execution or Bias?

    For these systems there are pre-filters, post-filters, and also RAG. Pre-filters halt queries that are known to produce an undesired response, related to copyright content, or things along those lines. Post-filters act upon the generated response. For example they operate content safety...

    ChatGPT vs Microsoft CoPilot: Poor Execution or Bias?

    ChatGPT isn’t one model, it’s an agglomeration of many models, which also exist in different versions. So a query asked of ChatGPT will give a different reply depending on which version is being used. Between the ChatGPT service and Microsoft’s, they are likely also tuning for more or less...

    ASR sponsored double blind test event

    I’m much more interested in blind speaker testing, but I know that’s a lot harder to pull off.

    Can the /excessiveness/ of the 8361A be better utilised?

    Maybe you could use GRADE to do the measurement if you already have GLM. https://www.genelec.com/glm-grade

    Can the /excessiveness/ of the 8361A be better utilised?

    Probably a few ways to look at this. By experience, high frequency causes less excursion than low frequency. The force and therefore the acceleration of a driver is proportional to current. For a similar peak voltage (and current) polarity reverses sooner with higher frequency, therefore...

    Audibility thresholds of amp and DAC measurements

    Cynically, because people are very willing to pay for it Practically, because it can be achieved with good engineering at a nominal cost Philosophically, there is no reason

    Can the /excessiveness/ of the 8361A be better utilised?

    I think ‘why’ is obvious. OP bought a super expensive pair of speakers that are doing little more for him than the smaller pair could have done. He wants to know if he can somehow squeeze a subwoofer out of them so the expense wasn’t a waste. OP has also received about 20 thoughtful replies...

    Are speakers actually already a solved problem?

    This seems to me akin to debating mechanical vs quartz watches. It should be possible to appreciate one (passive speakers) without diminishing the other (active speakers). Just like watches, if one has a preference for a less accurate system because you admire a certain type of complexity...

    Benefits of using expensive DACs

    You’re right. It’s everyone else that is wrong

    Can the /excessiveness/ of the 8361A be better utilised?

    What are you listening to? Are you even sure there is 20 - 30 Hz spectrum you are missing in your content?

    Are speakers actually already a solved problem?

    The best speakers are also still extremely expensive. Not until the best speakers are like an iPhone, where an average consumer can purchase the best performance with the best design and best ergonomic considerations would I consider this solved. There are other aspects like cardioid and...

    Benefits of using expensive DACs

    This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in Audiogon and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Audio Science Review, and we show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember, all we're...

    Benefits of using expensive DACs

    Why? You just spelled out in plain English that you heard no difference, your friends heard no difference, and you even understand why that should be the case. Why are you still chasing DACs?

    Neumann kh 150 or Genelec 8340 at equal price

    I have KH 80 and it’s been flawless since day one. Now you have another story from another user which still means absolutely nothing.

    Neumann kh 150 or Genelec 8340 at equal price

    I would decide based on which system you want to get into. GLM vs MA 1. Genelec subs vs Neumann subs. Assume it’s not the last purchase you’re going to make because it can be expensive to switch brands in the future. Both brands have proven performance, so I don’t think your decision should be...

    Precisely, I believe we are sharing a common understanding :)
