I've been using Preplexity lately while learning to use Yamaha SeqTrack synthesizer. I have the UserGuide, but I find it easier and faster to ask Preplexity for things like "How do I mute a track?".

It never occurred to me I could use Google this way. And it is a novel idea to me, that it seems to be better to use AI than read a manual.

If Google's LLM is trained on the SeqTrack manual, then yes.

If it's not then it will just invent some plausible-souding bullshit that doesn't actually work.

After the fifth time you get burnt by this the whole LLM experience starts to sour.

Yes. I wonder what's LLM providers' approach to ensuring high-quality of training materials?
