OpenAI ChatGPT has some interesting insights about audio

it is expected that it gives wron or confusing answers. it is still learning.
my complaint though is that you can't force it to learn by simple logic:

it should be possible to guide it to correct itself by logical conlusion
 
well that whole spiel on cables has all the hallmarks of the danny ritchies, paul mcgowans and guttenbergs of the world...
 
Quoting a friend in another forum:

The thing about ChatGPT is that it is a large language model trained to provide answers that people (specifically the group of people who provided feedback into it;s ground-truth training dataset) found pleasing. It's important to keep that in mind -- it's not designed to be correct, or truthful, or insightful; it's designed to be pleasing.

Think of it as a state-of-the-art, automated bullshitter. That's actually a real engineering accomplishment, and it has some useful potential applications, but I wouldn't be worried about the robots seizing control of SkyNet anytime soon.
 
I don't care for how AI is described, but for me this isn't it yet. it is just a data analyser.

ChatGPT is simply very literate. I have already used it to sift through philosophical texts for me. It was very effective. For me it isn't 'it', but just another tool so far.
 
AI is only as good as the data it is fed. I don't know what algorithm they used, but the potential that it may put out misleading information worries me. That information given about DAC's sounds plausible but more detail / evidence is required, for example what measurements would give a more complete picture. Are there things that are audible that has no way of being measured. And so on. At the moment what it said is just pure assertion.

I wonder if it has an opinion on subjects that might be dangerous to you if the advice was followed - bitcoin scams, alternative medicine, fringe politics ...
 
oh the racist Microsoft chat bot you mean? :D
the 'problem' i have with that is that an AI is not racist from the outset as much as a Casio FX100 is 'racist'... the programming can be 'malleable' to certain extents but its a mirror of what its exposed to... the AI went ugly because the people it learnt from is... whatever they were and are...

This problem is real. The same goes for human advisors or influencers.
 
Ok, would it’s answers to questions from ASR members change if it read the full content of ASR? Do we know if it has or has not?

I asked ChatGPT about this. You can ask anything. It says it can't browse internet forums by itself.
 
The first computer dialog program I remember well was ELIZA by Joseph Weizenbaum. It seemed "intelligent" to some people at the time, but it was more of a joke. With ChatGPT, I would no longer call it a joke. It's more like a breakthrough that will change the world.

Unfortunately, the level of knowledge is not yet up to date. One example: Angela Merkel is still Chancellor of Germany for the program.

Just set up an account with them to see if it can clean up my writing instead of making up answers. I was pleasantly surprised that it can do that. That said, it did change the meaning a bit and took out some specifics. Let me know whether you think my version is better or not. It is the conclusion in my iPurifier3 review:

My writing:
It seems that the iPurifier does what it says it does: clean up the signal/power lines over USB and with it help devices that need it. Then again every DAC I recommend of which there are probably 50 to 100, already perform their own filtering and don't need any help. After all, I test them all on my desktop workstation without any such filters. Adding an active device to the USB connection can reduce available power and potentially decrease measured performance as show in the case of Schiit Modi 3+. Seeing how a better DAC costs less than iPurifier3 anyway, there is no reason to deploy such a device.

ChatGPT:
The iPurifier is a device that claims to clean up the signal and power lines over USB, which can improve the performance of certain devices that may be sensitive to electrical noise. However, many high-quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs) already have built-in filtering and do not require additional help. Additionally, adding an active device like the iPurifier to the USB connection can decrease available power and potentially decrease overall performance. Given that a better DAC can often be obtained for less cost than the iPurifier, there may be little reason to use such a device.
If it was a human, I would say that it is hedging it's answer to avoid legal consequences!
 
so, the other day I asked it about nasal tobaco beeing less harmfull then smoking and it wouldn't confirm this. I logicly tried to make it understand that this is fact, but it wouldn't learn.
BUT today the answer is correct.
I can't post the dialog becaus it is in portuguese.
I conclude that it in fact learns, but it takes a little
 
Also, neulich fragte ich es, ob Nasentabak weniger schädlich sei als das Rauchen, und es würde dies nicht bestätigen. Ich habe logischerweise versucht, ihm verständlich zu machen, dass dies eine Tatsache ist, aber er wollte es nicht lernen.
ABER heute ist die Antwort richtig.
Ich kann den Dialog nicht posten, weil er auf Portugiesisch ist.
Ich schließe daraus, dass es tatsächlich lernt, aber es dauert ein wenig
I would be surprised if it simply accepts opinions from individuals. Unfortunately, I know too little about how it works.
