Firstly, we are very impressed with the musical productions produced via AI (including synth vocals). The legal and other ramifications have been amply discussed here so that is not my subject. What has totally failed to impress is the accuracy of music related technical inquiries to AI sources. As a production geek and an old guy I often get a bit overwhelmed learning new products. For example moving older product presets to the latest version can be tedious at times. EVERY inquiry I made using AI for help on this subject has been wrong even though I clearly stated the products under question and what I was attempting to accomplish. Every one. From using outdated sources to simply stating incorrect methodology. That piqued my interest and I started making test inquiries ... all related to music production. A conservative estimate would be that 75% of them were simply wrong. Having touched on the above I will also mention that medical related inquiries have also been wrong. While I would never trust AI for such I do feel that it is dangerous for those less inquisitive. From our love of outdoors/hiking to music production to mountain biking to our love of historical architecture we often get erroneous answers that are sometimes hilarious. On a positive note  I have a friend who owns several tech companies that specialize in healthcare. Compliance with privacy regulations is a big issue in the healthcare field. I'm very aware of it having spent my career in healthcare. He used AI to write a book about how to deal with the issue. BUT for that operation he provided all the vetted sources on the subject he could find and AI "wrote" the book using only that multitude of sources and their references. The result was incredible. He and others read every word and made practically no changes ... even to footnotes. So AI can "write" when it knows what it's "talking" about! I would assume this would apply to any application of it where the user is supplying the sources, e.g., one or multiple websites, etc. Bud

There are some things that AI is simply not very good at (yet) and it does tend to take guesses that will lead you off in the wrong direction. I wanted to develop a bridge (the card game) app that would answer all your bridge questions but the ai clearly doesn’t know how to play bridge (yet). It just made up completely wrong answers to some simple questions.

It just made up completely wrong answers to some simple questions. When you think about how AI works, that is, mostly goal-oriented with lots of data, it's almost inevitable that if it doesn't find a 'right' answer it will go on hunting for something that looks like it might be reasonable. Quite often it's 'reasonable' but nonsense. Whether things get better or worse because of that probably depends upon how its 'finds' are managed. It could improve (hopefully) or it could go chaotic (hopefully not).

There are indications that here - and around the world - people prefer misinformation over the facts.
Perhaps that is how the AI has been trained.

I guess the chess approach is based on pure massive computational power. Hope you get to develop that app down the road. Lyric Lap is certainly a fine indication of your abilities. Bud

Bud 20 years?? Anybody remember Radio Shack and Tandy? I still have my battery operated Radio Shack 1650 Chess Fast Response Program (Cat. No. 60-2194) from the 1980s. This thing has 7 levels, level zero is limited to an average response time of 1 second. Level 7 is up to 1 hour. Now the embarassing part. I was able to beat it frequently on level zero and infrequently on Levels 1 & 2. Beyond that it would kick my butt every time. It's been a few years since I've played on it, I should dust it off and see how pitiful I am now 
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2026 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

And like you those early ones kicked my butt at medium levels. And I took chess seriously ... or thought I did! Bud

For the record... I was not making a joke. Really read this. There are indications that here - and around the world - people prefer misinformation over the facts.
Perhaps that is how the AI has been trained. Can AI filter "the facts"? If it's read everything ever written, it's read everything. All the facts and all the alternate facts.

My Radio Shack model is absolutely ruthless (as I'm sure the PC games are). There's no wearing you down around the edges or slowly depleting your army in its mind. It doesn't care about your rook, bishop, knight or queen; unless they happen to be in the way. This thing is laser focused on one thing only . . entrapping your KING in the shortest possible time. And man, it knows how to play!

Perhaps that is how the AI has been trained. I see no reason AI could not be "trained" in many situations to vet the sources it scrapes from the net. For example a medical question about cholesterol levels would only use info from the most recent peer reviewed medical journals. Another, a question about how to find and change certain settings on an iPhone 14 running IOS 18.1 would gather data from Apple published statements and from Apple.com discussions marked resolved that reference that model and IOS. Rather than from a world of BS or generic or out of date sites like it now does. FWIW, Bud

Perhaps that is how the AI has been trained. Floyd, I'm with Ronald Reagan when he said " Trust but verify." A different context for sure but the principle is no less wise. From time to time my AI assistant has given me outdated or wrong info. To which I said " Are you sure about that?" And it would come back with an apology and a more accurate answer. Do you have a concrete example where it gave you bogus info and refused to budge when told it was wrong? If so, do share, I'd like to verify.

Seems like assumptions are being made that the people responsible for "training" the AI engines are ethical and have the world's best interest at heart.
The all-knowing public have given almost limitless power to a few very rich men, whose ONLY goal is to get richer.
All they have to do is convince that all-knowing public that regulations of any kind will prevent them (the poor, all-knowing public) from becoming as rich as they are - because those regulations will end up benefiting some other tribes (certainly not theirs) and the poor all-knowing public will foot the bill.
All past regulations (safeguards) are on the chopping block.
Because those very rich men do not want any of their money being taken to help pay for it.
Fewer regulations (by destroying our institutions from the inside) are not going to make us (the all-knowing public) richer. They will make us more unhealthy (and unable to afford health care) and our world will die even faster.
How will AI be regulated?
It won't.
Who do you think OWNS those AI engines?
And what do you think they want in return for providing that to us poor all-knowing public who cannot think for themselves?
Everything.

Seems like assumptions are being made that the people responsible for "training" the AI engines are ethical and have the world's best interest at heart. Most of what you say is true, which is why me and Ronnie like to verify things 😊 The other important point to make is welcome to capitalism and human nature. Has anything meaningfully changed since the stone age? It’s going to cost you if you want the best spear in the neighborhood, even if you invent the thing yourself. I’m a technocrat at heart and are driven by facts and observations. Which is why if ever I see an example of an AI bot not budging when informed it’s wrong, I’m not scared to give the thing one hell of a talking to. I have to believe that humans behind the scenes are at least spot checking its performance and the public’s response . . . after all don’t the developers want to have the best spear in the neighborhood? They call this quality control. But as pro-tech as I am, I’ve said this before. Don’t let AI become sentient, not even in the lab.

Wrong, based on Your definition of Wrong.
So, if I understand you correctly, you then continue asking it the same question until it gives you the answer you want.
That's not training. That's indoctrination.

That's not training. That's indoctrination. What is wrong?? And what exactly is my definition of wrong. I didn't give one. And I can't intelligently respond otherwise because your point is not clear. Who/what in your mind is being trained? You? Me? The AI? Likewise for who is being indoctrinated.

AI is most likely the future, but knowing when to use and/or trust it is anybody's guess.
I'm pretty weary of the dumb a** AI-generated content online though.

Has anything meaningfully changed since the stone age? It’s going to cost you if you want the best spear in the neighborhood, even if you invent the thing yourself. I think it's fair to say that quite a bit has meaningfully changed since the stone age. And capitalism isn't the inevitable result of human nature. There have been many variations of economic systems throughout history other than capitalism. In fact, capitalism is actually the least common economic system.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
