    Using AI to help tune

    I am just wondering if anyone has used AI (chat GPD or Grok) to help with tuning. I have been researching ways to make some efficiency changed to my 2014 f150 Ecoboost to be happy and more powerful with 91 octane tunes. I'm still fairly new, and have mostly worked with LS bases stuff and the Ecoboost has been a entirely different learning curve. I was talking a another guy who is just getting started and he has used tunes that were completely generated by AI based on the information he has given it with decent success. Has anyone else tried this with any success?
    Apparently when the tunes are made it will grab a bunch of information from all over the internet and forums and make conclusions and calculations based on the information it finds. I have had chat GPD make me a relatively basic tow tune and it seems to follow many of the formulas and suggestions I read online. I'm just currently comparing the files to see what and where the changes are.

    Most of the information out there is pretty solid, mostly on these forums... The problem with using AI with out knowing yourself, is you can't 100% verify things, so you'll have to take everything the AI puts out as gospel.
    Not really a good way to do tuning if you ask me.

    There's also enough difference between V6 and I4 tuning that they don't 100% cross, so that could cause a lot of frustration as well.

    I thought ChatGPT would be good for this stuff until I asked it to do some simple math calculations (calculating vehicle speed based on gear ratio/rpm) and it was off by a significant margin. I had to tell the bot that it was wrong 3 times, and then explain what was wrong in it's formula the 4th time, and then it corrected the formula.

    I would be the next time it does this calc, it will be fine, but without someone to teach the bot how this all works, it doesn't know and will output horrifically incorrect data with the utmost confidence.

    A few minutes with Excel and you can have your own easy way to do the vehicle speeds.
    I made one i can in the tire/gear info and it spits out speed in 100rpms increments.
    I use it for trans up/down shift tuning.

    But no i dont even know how to use the AI stuff haha
