AI in audio

This looks like some AI nonsense. I am looking at buying a TV stand for the basement so I can set up a system down there and maybe a 50 inch TV as well...

Note the one speaker on the right and maybe that thing on the left is supposed to be an old radio. But I like how they think that one speaker would be the way to go... I won't be getting this one anyway.

This was another promo picture I created with some relevant text. I had to cut out and warp the eagles album cover to make the stack relevant (My band plays some of their stuff). One thing interesting about these Ai generated pictures is it demostrates that Ai does not know the functionality of what is actually in the pictures. Notice it does a poor job of replicating turntables because it doesn't really know how they are used, nor what they actually are.

I suppose if you put into the software, “use a Technics 1200 turntable,” the image may have been more accurate. And have “the table turned 180 degrees.” :idea:

Did you post any actual photos of the band? You don’t need to post them here, as that might make you vulnerable to AI scraping software (life is full of irony, no?).

Yeah. I posted photos of the band too. In fact, I don't even bother with Ai stuff any more. It was fun but just seems too fake.
 
I plugged some stuff into Google's AI to see if it came up with a workable schematic for something. I asked it to give me a schematic using the triode sections of a pair of 6LR8 tubes to create a floating paraphase inverter with a 250 volt supply. What it spit out doesn't seem completely unreasonable. I think the plate and cathode resistors may be high enough to bias it too low but I've made no particular effort to verify it.

It can't actually draw a schematic but I got the gist of it. I'll verify whenever I pick up tubes for this.

so I actually poked a bit at this. It ends up operating at a not-happy place. It should be running something like double the current and the plate resistors are about 3x what makes sense. For yucks I tried to get it to fix it, and it spit out a completely unworkable design where one of the outputs was actually connected to ground.
 
I tried having chat gpt make a simple eq (low shelf for baffle step) circuit out of specific transistors and output to Gerber files, which it did, but each time it made a critical error requiring another prompt to fix, but ended in a cycle where a new error was introduced each time. I gave up after about 20 iterations with no success due the introduction of a new error each time. (incompatible files, empty files, missing labels/components, and on and on and on)
 
I tried getting it to fix the error, it kept saying "hey you're right, here's an updated schematic" and it wasn't fixed, just added more and more nonsense until it was total nonsense that still had zero chance of working. No idea how it gave me something that at least had the right basic configuration initially and the next day gave me complete nonsense. I guess it was an interesting experiment but I don't think its going to replace competent design. And I don't mean me, because if I can do a better job it really sucks.

I re-drew the thing and made some changes to get it to bias reasonably, then remembered I want to do fixed bias with the output stage and that won't work with what I drew. Have to do some thinking on how to make that work. Or I just bail on it and set it up as a split load inverter which will probably give better performance anyway. Definitely reduces the number of parts and phase shift points.
 
I saw this AI generated slop this morning. Just wondering how it would sound?

The woofer would sound like a tweeter (or as much as it could) with that 10uF cap in series.

The midrange wouldn't work at all, as the green wire has no path (direct or indirect) back to the +ve red terminal.

The tweeter would work, but not for long since the 2.2R resistor will let low frequencies through.

What is the green wire on the tweeter and mid?

The 1.5 mH inductor is shorted

Looks like the input +/- are shorted together; the blue (-) heads back around and turns into a brown which then connects to green (+)

FAIL
 
I posted these pictures in another thread, from what I remember, this amp was for sale on eBay with AI generated pics

Spookers huh LOL

The 0.20mH shunt isn't doing anything LOL!
 
Not long ago, my wife sent me a YT link to an AI generated soul singer. I knew right away it was an amalgam of a couple guys from the past (Al Green and Otis (?), I've already forgotten. She thought it was great and was disappointed to find out it was fake. I'm not a fan of this use of AI.
