-Answer questions like “How do I do X?” with clear, step-by-step instructions, based on the uploaded manuals or documentation.
-Reference the source (manual section/page) to ensure reliability.

What has been working quite well for me is uploading the manual to Gemini and then asking questions like how to do this, how to do that, and how I can improve or optimize what I already have based on the DSP that is available to me, etc.
 
We all know that even guitar gods like Steve Vai have someone handling presets and setup. So yeah—someone can just tell him, “Steve, read the manual,” lol. Why can’t we use AI the same way? Manuals matter, but I’d rather play than deal with gear admin. Plus, AI often comes up with ideas you’d never think of yourself.

I wouldn't mind at all if you paid somebody to handle your presets and setup for you.

AI sucks at this stuff... It makes up stuff all the time.

My prediction is that this would cause more problems than it solves.

Use your actual intelligence - it's almost certainly better ;)

Just in this past week, I was trying to learn how to make my own IRs and Neural Amp captures just for fun.

Despite my better judgement, I decided to try and see what ChatGPT could offer. For the IR, I was actually trying to figure out how to capture an IR from a software plugin. ChatGPT recommended this program Voxengo. I went to Voxengo's site and it states clearly that they don't offer a version for Mac: https://www.voxengo.com/product/deconvolver/#nav-tabs. I told ChatGPT this: 1769434046281.png
So not only did it just got something factually wrong, it doubled down on it.

In the conversation, there were other things I could just tell it was getting wrong or not understanding. I was just trying to capture just an IR from the plugin, not the whole signal chain. It kept misunderstanding this and insisting that an IR can't capture an amp, which I understood and tried to reiterate that I wasn't try to do the whole signal chain.

Another example was when I was trying to learn how to make NAM captures. I was actually more confused about how to set up my FM9 as interface. I googled "how to use FM9 as an interface for NAM captures", hoping to find some forum posts.

Google's gemini said this "You can run NAM captures on your FM9. Many users use them to add to the amp model library"

Not only did it misunderstand my query, I just hallucinated something completely wrong. I'm fortunate because I'm at least knowledgeable in the FM9 but what about someone who doesn't know? How do they separate fact from hallucinations?

Also, I can't tell you how valuable it was for me learning in the ins and outs of the FM9 and fractal Amp modeling. You learns much about not only how certain real world gear is used, but its history. That's invaluable IMO.
 
@Seven2Eleven May I ask whether you are using the paid versions of ChatGPT or Gemini? I’m not saying there aren’t hallucinations in the paid versions, but I experienced them especially when I used the free ones.
 
You can upload the AxeFx manuals, and any others you want, (not sure if Axe Edit has a manual?) into Google’s NotebookLM and it will answer any questions you have.
