I used it quite a bit over the weekend to reacquaint myself with my small music studio, which I had ignored over the past few years. It told me all sorts of accurate information about my microphones, hardware, etc, including helping me with some connection problems having to do with buggy signal flow.

I was using it for similar purpose in regards reacquainting myself with the complicated/ highly customizable system menu on GR-55 pedal it was telling me inaccurate stuff like push buttons that don't even exist/ menu options Etc. I would correct it if I knew better or at least let it know when it was wrong after a week of it not being very good it started getting things right and I'm not even talking about using the same chat history discussion I let it know great you are doing a lot better at this now getting it right and it replied that it's learning all the time and that the more something is discussed the better it becomes at it

What makes you think that the information was accurate?

I don't understand how ChatGPT (or similar interactive agents) function, so I'm very confused by your experience. Was ChatGPT just a replacement for internet searches (e.g. instead of searching for a spec sheet for your model microphone, you asked the bot "what is the <spec> for <model> microphone?")? Or was ChatGPT doing the debugging with you just providing data from the real world?

  I've used it for the exact same thing I would have used StackOverflow for 6 months ago. Stuck on a specific coding problem, pulling out my hair, decided to go ask on StackOverflow but stopped and asked ChatGPT instead. Got a solution, and didn't need to wait a couple hours for the answer.

  Well, for instance, I had two microphones, an Audio Technical AT4040 and an Audio Technical AE5400, and I wasn't sure which I preferred to use as a vocal mic while I am playing piano. I asked it to compare and contrast. It was very helpful. I double-checked the results, but even with that, it was still much faster and less painful than doing two separate google searches dealing with ads. I went through the same exercise with all my other mics, too. It also gave me advice on how to mic an upright bass when playing live in a room with other players. I consider its advice superior to advice I had earlier received from discussion boards. It also gave me microphone recommendations that I can research. I also described a scenario of how my Focusrite Clarett8pre wasn't sending sounds to my headphones until I also turned on my Profile 2626, which is connected via optical ADAT cables. It told me that it sounded like the connection between the two was impeding the Focusrite's ability to route the inputs to my headphone mix, and to check Focusrite Control to see how the routing was defined. It wasn't a complete answer, but it put me on the right track.

  For me it's a mix of internet searches with an expert system you can interact with in natural language. So while before you'd simply type "my microphone is broken and I hear hissing noises" and pray Google had the answer to a more or less exact match for your question, now you type the same and ChatGPT can tell you possible causes. But then you refine your question "no, I tried this and that's not it. My mike brand is X, and it's a bit dusty. Anything else I should try?". New answer by ChatGPT. "No, I tried that and that's not it. But now I remember my dog bit it, is dog saliva bad for the mike?", and so on and so forth. And it can do magic that Google cannot. Say you ask for a snipper of code in Java. Then you realize you want to see the solution in Python. "Please rewrite the code you just generated but in Python" -- and voilà!

I use a rubber duck for that, it has all kinds of interesting stuff to say on the subject. Someone should stick a tts-and-stt converter in a rubber duck and interface it to ChatGPT, I bet it would sell like hotcakes.

  On my site I have integrated Chrome speech to text and Eleven Labs fully realistic text-to-speech. https://aidev.codes https://aidev.codes Just start by telling it you want to have a conversation instead of outputting code. Otherwise it will assume you want it to output a web page and might even try to generate images about what you said.

  I'm a big fan of rubber-ducking, but rubber ducks don't have a way of summarizing advice that is "out there" that I don't know about.
