AI answers the question we all want to know...

Actually got a decent response on that one:


There are a few techniques that can be used to make an electric bass guitar sound like an upright double bass:

  1. Use flatwound strings: Flatwound strings have a smoother sound and don't have as much sustain as roundwound strings. This can create a closer sound to an upright bass.

  2. Use a double bass emulation pedal: There are pedals available that can emulate the sound of an upright bass. These pedals can be connected to your electric bass to create a similar tone.

  3. Use a mute: Upright bass players often use a mute to reduce the sustain and create a softer, more muted sound. A similar effect can be achieved on an electric bass by using a foam or rubber mute.

  4. Use an EQ: Adjusting the EQ on your amplifier or pedal can help to create a sound closer to that of an upright bass. Try reducing the treble and boosting the bass frequencies.

  5. Play with fingers instead of a pick: Playing with your fingers can create a warmer, more rounded sound that is similar to that of an upright bass.

  6. Experiment with playing techniques: Upright bass players often use techniques like palm muting, plucking closer to the bridge, and slapping to create different sounds. Experimenting with these techniques on your electric bass can help to create a more upright-like sound.

Where do I buy a double bass emulation pedal?

Those basses listed by the AI bot are so different from each other that the bot's response is no answer at all to the question, but rather seems to me to be more like a salesperson's response to a customer's question where he/she is just trying to find out what bass is going to be the fastest and easiest sell.

A true AI will need to be able to constantly rewrite its on code. It can update a database easily enough and learn new facts, but unless it can update its own code engine and actually learn and grow it will never be more than an a fast predictive lookup tool.

That's pretty neat! I'm not a chatGPT hater, used it for my BIO class! I was going to share my voice but it seems this thread is dominated by terminator vibes lol. I think it's a great tool, replacement for humans? That IMO won't be for awhile but that's a pretty good answer and what most people on R/bass and talkbass respond with!

AI isn't a program in that sense. You might argue it should be able to modify the number of layers or their size, or activation functions, but those are parameters. And they already learn, although it's quite a specific definition of learning, and lots of philosophical debate rages as to the relationship between machine learning and biological learning or complex biological learning. That's something I used to steer clear of as it's a bit like asking how bird-like a 747 is when the main thing about a 747 is how much cargo or people it can fly about.

SkyNet exists... it's the UK Army satellite network and has been since the early 1970s.
