it’s so fucking defeatist, but then again the alternative is the ai clowning me, which I actually experienced, NOT FUN EITHER.
Oh like when it just doubles, triples, and quadruples down? That is some of the funniest shit.
The way they immediately give up is funny to me. I know people like that tbh.
Yeah, you can’t tune your bass’s A string to a 440 Hz A. Lol
With that being said, the phenomenon the meme is referencing is called sympathetic resonance. It is not limited to matching intervals, but will resonate sympathetically at any frequency in the material’s harmonic scale. Any A will make any well-tuned A string resonate (or C#, D, E, or flat B/sharp Bb…), it just may be very low amplitude.
Tbf they meant relative to the Stuttgart pitch. Humans would also refer to an orchestra tuning to concert pitch “A440.”
I don’t think the AI meant anything.
“They” being the sources that the AI ingested to produce this output. AI is a word association machine, not a research tool. If people (“they”) call “tuning relative to A4=440Hz” “tune A to 440” AI will repeat it.
I’m just saying, while the OP is technically correct, one wouldn’t apply the same requirements on conversation with a human, which AI is built on.
LLMs mishmash from several sources. There isn’t a singular coherent “they”.
I understand, similar to “That’s what they say”, which is what I was idiomatically using “they” as in my original comment. I don’t really think it needs this much scrutiny.
I understand your point, but isn’t an orchestra ACTUALLY tuned to 440 (or 442 sometimes), because it’s usually a violin or oboe they’re tuning from? Like yeah, my bass isn’t going to be at 440, but the pitch I’m listening to while tuning is 440.
You’re right. Orchestras often tune to the oboe, because it can’t easily be tuned and usually stays in tune in conditions that would make other instruments go out of tune.
Cool - thanks for the sanity check.
Y’know, you’re definitely right. But if Copilot were really useful it could have explained that.
