It utterly fails at most music related things:

Q: please tell me the fingerings for the C scale on the trumpet

A: Sure! To play the C scale on the trumpet, use the following fingerings:

C: 1st valve

D: 1st and 2nd valves

E: 1st and 3rd valves

F: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd valves

G: open (no valves pressed)

A: 2nd valve

B: 3rd valve

C: open (no valves pressed)

Keep in mind that these are the most common fingerings for the C scale, but other fingerings are possible and may be more comfortable for some players. It's also important to practice your scales regularly in order to improve your technique and control. Happy practicing!


It's been a long time since I played trumpet, but aren't those incorrect?

On a regular Bb trumpet, this is the D (major) scale, so D should be 1-3 unless it's in the second octave (in which case this sequence is still wrong).

Looks like ChatBot ain't gonna take our musical jerbs anytime soon!


Yeah they're incorrect. There goes my plan of an AI finally efficiently & effectively teaching me music theory.


Q A C D E F G A B C is surely a weird scale to play in. :-)


I did similar tests with the bot about chords scales and time signature. His ignorance and general stupidity on that matter, coupled with overconfidence and extreme insistence on wrong outputs, is really funny.


ChatGPT needs to improve on numerical commonsense knowledge and verifiers for calculating math


Sounds like it was trained on every comment section everywhere!


It sounds like you're talking to an overconfident Julliard student on day 1 before they realize everyone there is just as good or better.


I asked it to produce "ascii drum tablature for a cool beat", or "what's the ascii guitar tab for the main riff in Metallica's Seek and Destroy", and in both cases it makes something that kind of looks like drum tablature or guitar tablature, but is basically nonsense.


Everyone in my family has a different name for the dog. Referring to the dog as "The Dog" is forbidden.


What level of math do I need to be at to "compute" this comment?


> function from {0,1}^N -> {0,1}^M

"{0,1}": the set containing the values 0 and 1

"{0,1}^N": a discrete n-dimensional space, where the possible values in each dimension are 0 or 1

So they're saying a computer takes a length N binary sequence input and produces a length M binary output.

(As for "what level is this", I didn't cover any of this in my double A-level[0] in maths/further maths, but I am covering it in brilliant.org and some popular maths books, so my best guess is it's first or second year degree level?)

Very little.

A computer is an abstract mathematical description (eg., like "prime") of a certain mathematical object, a function.

A computer is a way of specifying a discrete function (ie., one which maps a finite number of bits to a finite number of bits), in terms of a sequence of mathematical transitions.

It's an "algorithmic" way of specifying the domain and codomain of a discrete function.

Electrical digital computers aren't actually computers in this sense, and are extremely aproximately described by them. Inasmuch as the shape of the earth is aproximately "spherical".

In any case, pretty much all of physics does not use discrete functions (indeed, I can't think of a single case). In every way physics describes reality, ie., parameterised on space and time, functions are continuous.

They map an infinite amount of spatio-temporal information to an infinite amount of spatio-temporal information.

And there is yet no reason whatsoever, other than the AI PR machine, to suppose that all of physics is wrong in this regard, and the universe is describable by anything else.

This is relevant here, since the problem that cannot be represented to the machine uses ordinary equations of physics, none of which are computable.


Just upload it on YouTube. Problem solved.


Yeah whenever I've seen a favourite creator put up an out-of-place piece of long form content, it sometimes even gets a calendar entry so I can give it my full attention later


I would pay good money for a proper Obsidian course. I can't manage my notes to save my life. Infinite sideways bullet point pyramids.


Get a Synology NAS with the DSAudio app. I stream music from my NAS wherever, super simple classic interface, and it caches songs too.


Why would I even want to flip a coin? I already have a bag full of pennies.


If you have an account in HN, something tells me you have flipped some coins.


And I lost every time.


Keep flipping! you will eventually regress back to the mean.


I rather focus on studying languages and instruments. Sacrificed too much time chasing money. Don't have the brain for it.

F for Fake by Orson Welles is in the same vein. Still don't know if it's a fiction or non-fiction.


For anyone that can't stand not being able to scan, replace "shorts" with "v" to get a regular video: https://www.youtube.com/v/TTXPvD5iYxs


That's super helpful, thank you! It's like holding my breath not knowing where I am in the video.
