Apologize if you've already had this discussion I apologize. I know it is a difficult policy to police and monitor. Would be done by members and, if seen, reported to the moderator. I also recognize that it may also be difficult to recognize. I've seen it abused by a manufacturer for product advertising. Not a good situation. Based on what I've seen on another forum, I am totally opp9sed to it's use. Best.

Just so I’m clear, you’re asking about people using AI to respond or pose questions?
 
Thank you for your quick response. Your input is essential and critical to this thread. Yes to your questions. Also to generate material for new threads. Or advertise. Or post computer based equipment reviews. Or .....? I don't know how one would separate when it is allowed and when it's not. Maybe you can suggest ways that you find acceptable and not compromise the spirit / intent of AS. That being, I assume, human generated discussions and exchange of ideas and opinions.

I hope not, this is the level AI generates

what is the best stereo hifi audio solution with a 50000 dollar budget with streaming as source? +3

The best ultra-high-end stereo hi-fi system for a $50,000 budget centers around separates: the Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 loudspeakers, paired with the Hifi Rose RS150B network streamer/DAC, and a powerhouse amplifier like the McIntosh MC462 or Chord Ultima.System Component BreakdownLoudspeakers ($38,000): Bowers & Wilkins 801 D4 — Reference-grade floorstanders offering astonishing clarity, massive dynamic scale, and deep, controlled bass that energizes any listening room.Streamer & DAC ($5,000): HiFi Rose RS150B — Features a gorgeous 14.9-inch touchscreen, an audiophile ESS Sabre DAC, Roon Ready certification, and uncompromising digital signal handling.Amplification ($7,000): Rotel Michi S5 or McIntosh MC462 — Delivers hundreds of pure watts per channel with massive current reserves to effortlessly command the large B&W woofers without straining.Cabling and Room Tuning ($3,000)Power Conditioning: AudioQuest Niagara series to protect electronics and ensure a completely silent noise floor.Acoustic Treatment & Interconnects: Premium balanced XLR links and basic professional room correction placement to ensure the sound matches the theoretical performance limits of the hardware.Would you prefer a traditional component stack like the one above, or a sleek all-in-one active speaker system that simplifies the setup?
 
Using AI to help form a question or an answer is fine by me. I’m not anti-AI. If someone used AI to ask or answer a complex question, I think it’s reasonable. Used as a data source, I think it’s fine, but one should keep in mind that especially at this time, AI is far from infallible and its data should be verified.
 
AI has it uses and limitations.

I had someone make an offer to be on non-hifi audio business the other day and I could tell much of it was AI generated. My response to him: if he is unable to communicate with me on without the help of AI, I don't want to do business with him.

I think it's kinda the same here: no one expects people to spend hours writing posts.

No one expects it to be worded or spelled correctly.

Just share your thoughts and opinions from your heart - no need for AI - and all is good.

I see it a lot of this in business - people using AI to create business deals and structures - especially the legal part - and it is usually at least 50% factually incorrect.

Sort of like asking AI for hifi advice....

OK Mike, I respect your stand on this. Thanks for clarifying. I'll stop calling out suspected AI-generated content. ;)

Oh it’s fine to call it out too. What I was thinking was using AI for something technical like tracking force on cartridge with a particular arm and table. Maybe AI would find posts where the users suggest using the higher recommended number of something.
 
I use AI every day at work, doing executive summaries of meetings and for engineering suggestions and solutions. I think in a forum it should be limited and depending on the platform. Most common public AI platforms are garbage.
