ChatGPT on Tube Amp Design

[tfarny]

Has anyone considered that ChatGPT is “reading” this thread and has already “learned” something about what it is getting wrong? I was surprised to see more output that mentioned safety—after several people mentioned it didn’t talk enough about safety. The feedback loop we are creating really is hard to comprehend.

ChatGpT isn't continually trolling the web, reading responses. It is a static Large Language Model that has about 1/3 the library of congress scanned into a database. That's what it works from when responding. If you ask it what happened in Poughkeepsie last week it has nothing to say. But future versions could certainly do that and a bunch of other stuff.

Guys why are we wasting time asking about amps? Go straight to the meaning of life!

they are different how?

Technically and legally it belongs to ChatGPT. He is also a great Lawyer so lookout! Of course you could always call it a co-write and share. you don't want to piss off the AI. It never forgets!

Hi. Yesterday we wrote a song together. I would like to copyright the song, myself, and collect all future royalties. I don't want to give you any credit at all, because you are just a tool that I used, and the prompts that I gave you were mine alone. Is that okay with you and the company that built you?

ChatGPT
As an AI language model, I do not own any intellectual property or have any legal rights. Therefore, whether or not you choose to give me credit for our collaboration or to exclude me from any copyright or royalties is entirely up to you.

The kind of thing it does well:

Hi.

******

Query: Is it better to burn out or fade away?

Response: This is a philosophical question and the answer can vary depending on one's personal beliefs and values.

"Burning out" refers to a short but intense period of productivity or creativity that is followed by a period of decline or exhaustion, while "fading away" refers to a more gradual and steady decline over time.

Some people might argue that it's better to burn out because it allows you to live life to the fullest and make the most of your time while you have it. Others might argue that it's better to fade away because it allows you to enjoy a longer and more sustainable period of productivity and creativity.

Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on your individual perspective and priorities. It's important to find a balance that works for you and allows you to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

It actually can't write an essay well. In the essay given above (now gone) there is little background given, the thesis is wishy washy, and the topic sentences lack direct/explicit links back to the thesis. It also fails at adding logical explanations after evidence to explain how they support the main ideas given. Just my two cents as a teacher of writing who has run across a few of these.

If the prompt/query is well-constructed, it will do a much better job, in my experience. It's kinda fun to do iterations while fine-tuning the instructions.

Fun thread...!

ChatGPT's AI didn't do badly at all describing what and how components affect tone EXCEPT designing for "single ended Class B". No musician would ever play through such an amp. Class A operation is defined by biasing a stage so that it amplifies 100% of the applied input signal. There is a sliding scale toward Class B, designated as Class AB1 and AB2, etc, that applies to Push Pull, 2 tube power design because hard Class B is technically setting the bias voltage to where each tube does 50% of the heavy lifting.

A single-ended Class B stage would go into cutoff and sound like the most ridiculous horrible sounding gate you ever heard. Even pure Class B push pull tubes don't sound very good if pushed because they exhibit nasty crossover distortion, which is just nasty noise not harmonically related to the signal and definitely not musical or even interesting. Crossover distortion occurs when both tubes "drop the ball" at the same time andstop translating input signal into an output. It's annoying like a bad crackling cable or jack.

I copyrighted it.

That's a whole other can of worms

This is terrifying!








It thinks the 5e3 uses nfb!

What a great answer. Thank you!

I woke up this morning, feeling like a man But sometimes I wonder, do I really understand What it means to be human, in this crazy world we're in Do we ever stop to think, about where we're going, where we've been

Chorus: Being human ain't easy, it's a tough road to walk We laugh, we love, we cry, we talk But we keep moving forward, and we keep holding on Cause being human means we're never really alone

Verse 2: We're born into this world, with so much to learn And every day we struggle, just to make the bridges burn We face so many challenges, and we're always on the run But the human spirit never fades, we keep pushing till we've won

Chorus: Being human ain't easy, it's a tough road to walk We laugh, we love, we cry, we talk But we keep moving forward, and we keep holding on Cause being human means we're never really alone

Verse 3: We strive for something greater, than what we have today We reach for the stars, and dream of a better way But sometimes we stumble, and sometimes we fall But we get back up again, cause we're human after all

Chorus: Being human ain't easy, it's a tough road to walk We laugh, we love, we cry, we talk But we keep moving forward, and we keep holding on Cause being human means we're never really alone

Outro: So let's embrace our humanity, with all its flaws and all Cause being human is a precious gift, and we're lucky to stand tall

I'm not a fan of A.I. I think the tech leaders are right to protest its unrestricted use. We can afford to pump the brakes here long enough to study and contemplate consequences before it's too late to pack the genie back into the bottle.
Maybe it's because of this that I feel a little creeped out by Hal singing about its human experience.

You can also tell it to write your legal argument for court to defend your copyright claim against itself.

Me: “What safety precautions should I take?”

I'm sorry Dave.
That Tone on your Amp simply won't make it out here.

FWIW, I read an article where its creators stated that it cannot do this, and they don't know how to add that as a feature (AI and explainability is a real problem)

I think this video will show the creators lied.

Hi.

Friend who teaches at a university in NZ told me he’s messed around a little, looking into what ChatGPT does in regard to essays and research proposals. I don’t remember in too much detail, but basically he mentioned the essays were okay but lacking, and, on the other hand, the research proposals that came back were sometimes very good.

But, when he followed up on the citations, some were legitimate and meaningful, some were real but didn’t apply or really say what was being claimed in the essay / proposal, others were real but didn’t have anything at all to do with what was being claimed, and some where just fake.

My friend said it appears ChatGPT is just writing what it ‘thinks’ you want to hear and will make stuff up accordingly, if needed.

You have to have an account and login to fiddle with Chat GPT?

If you have a Microsoft account you can probably use Bing
