Seems like a short-cut with the end result of making you less informed. And ~< 100% accurate.
IS it a short cut, or is it a first thing to check before asking the forum or diving in to read read the manual start to finish?
+1 - sorry AI buffs, it's nice to dream, but there's no shortcuts to true understanding - never will be.
I don't need true understanding to use my Axe FX.
Utterly useless. Teach it to respond "your phase is inverted on one side of your delay block"?
Utterly useless and not a bit of hyperbole.
In this case AI is an added layer of obfuscation, less accurate and informative than directly accessing and understanding the source.
Don't get me wrong, what you posted is cool, and all things AI interest me greatly. AI is a very skillful and convincing "language terminal". Not the best tool for getting definitive answers. At least not on anything I have used AI for lately (quite a few times).
More or less layers of obfucsation than the average forum thread?
It's the suggested intent that's a bit scary: Enthusiasm about getting an answer WITHOUT having to read a manual, enthusiasm about NOT needing to exercise one's brain a little, enthusiasm about the possibility of being spoonfed info, when the simplest and most direct route to the knowledge is to just open the book (A.."I"'s source) already in hand and read it directly. It's a good example of one of A.."I"'s biggest dangers imo - for every 1 it helps, many will be led to waste time thinking it's some sort of magic shortcut to understanding concepts.
The easy part is opening the book and finding the page. The harder (but often more rewarding) part is reading / studying the page and undertanding the concept. The less we practice that the harder it will be - and putting an A.."I" filter between us and the page will only make things even more challenging.
I want to practice writing music, not reading Axe FX manuals.
because its a filter between you and the actual info and
it does not understand what its looking at in the way a human can - but, if it follows current A.."I" trends, It'll try n look like it knows what it's talkin about.
edit: would you trust it to interpret an airline pilot's emerg procedure manual during a mid flight engine failure?
common sense (often lacking these days) - I'll just RTFM thanks - I keep it right handy (read it while waiting in the grocery line).
Entertaining thread - thanks
I would prefer my airline pilot have a tool that helps them find the information they need
before we crash rather than having them still thumbing through the index when we hit the ground, personally.
Of course, the big question is whether or not it will pass on that corrected advice to another user- I doubt it, but who knows... it seems like it would be extremely problematic to have ChatGPT so easily influenced by user input.
It will not, ChatGTP learns from it's training data, not from it's interactions with users. Nothing you do with it or tell it persists to new chat sessions. In fact, after a certain number words (technically logical units) it'll lose the context of your own conversation too. Keep talking long enough and it'll forget the new thing you told it.
Others in the future may behave differently.
Heh. PowerPoint docs. Great.
Let’s see if it can survive ingesting the Emacs documentation.
It’s not going to be something I use or recommend for a while.
I don't think it's fair to assume this is only useful for documentation. What if you injected a slide deck from a 2 hour presentation that you wanted to be able to search for information within?
Accuracy is accuracy, regardless of underlying subect matter.
Besides - to many folks here, Axfx is the essense of life itself lol! - little margin of error permitted
(guess I should have used another analagy: ie: Hetfield asks newbie tech to reconfig Axfx modifier 5 minutes before show - (If I'm Hetfield, I'm hopin newbie tech read the actual manual or remembers CC training, not going by Q+A thru a hit and miss AI))
I think it's a little different if your paying job is being tech for one of the biggest bands in the world playing stadium shows, vs trying to get a song idea recorded quickly enough that you aren't tired at work the next morning.
I see this as an early "experiment" in NL search (in the FAS context) having to go to an external link that has limited capability. Soon platforms and tools (like Adobe, XenForo) will integrate this directly as a supplemental search/filter feature to stay competitive, even if it's buggy initially.
In fact, I want a NL filter for forum threads to be able to remove OT jibber jabber (including mine) to see FW related info, questions, concerns, bugs. I bet something like that would help devs to filter out forum noise as well -- although they might already have an algorithmic filter to give them a cleaner stream (e.g. possible bug posts no matter where they are posted).
Exactly! People are throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. "Take this repository of text and give me a way to search it" is an interesting take on it.
