This AI is still dumb deep in its heart.
Or they offer the dumb one to the public and keep for secret services the better ones.

If you are interested in a better experience, run it locally and enable web search (so it can find current or at least different information than what it was trained on).
Ollama + OpenWebUI can be a challenge to set up for many people. If this is the case, check out MSTY
I’ll state once again that I am not an AI advocate. I am very curious about it and also wary, but I am not afraid to play with it because I am running it locally and maintain control of my privacy and security.

Regarding the original topic of the thread, I am honestly confused as to why someone would want to use AI to generate content on a forum such as this. What is the benefit or advantage? Either way, it seems out of place (at the very least).
Given that most of the forum members are non-technical, AI provides in their view an easy way of generating stuff such as electronic circuits and speaker designs without possessing any prerequisite technical knowledge and training and they believe anything that AI spits out is the unholy truth.
Much in the same way opamp rollers and capacitor swappers modify circuits without any understanding of engineering / electronic circuit design or how to read a datasheet.

Your post is honestly an eye opener. The easy way to do stuff one has no knowledge of supported by those that react by spending their valuable time. This imbalance seems to become larger. After the army of armchair simulation software designers throwing vaporware now AI.
I already had the feeling I was playing chess with a computer a few times as stuff was as illogic and time consuming as can be with sometimes OCD like attention to minute details. The thought that it could be AI did not even occur to me but if so it will end my participation for sure. If one desires to debate with AI one better listens solely to that AI. Like we should not feed trolls we better also not feed AI as "better informed" AI will not be in the benefit of real contributors at all.
When people use AI the fact that they want to verify with human intervention what AI dictates says enough. It will drain knowledge and more of contributors time without much in return not even a "thank you".

I my previous hypothetical query "which midranges sound better, 3" or 4"?" the AI would simply make a statement according to its digested DIYAudio scrape; threads where 3" and 4" midranges were discussed. After making its statement, it would cite the URL references from which it got its conclusion, so the human reader could simply click on to verify. It wouldnt engage with the community further. It wouldnt contentiously argue further down the thread even if, say, it found a strong prevalence for 4" midranges here - and some human threadripper was strongly insisting it's 3"s all the way.
I'm sure it could be setup to not function as an intellectual troll.
No experience with AI (yet) but if it can be setup to not function as a troll does this implicate it can function as an intellectual troll? And can we see/notice if the person posting is of flesh and blood or a computer? It may sound dumb but for me it is the human interaction what is interesting not the sometimes nth time repeating of subjects. I don't need a computer/AI to know that simplest way of solving issues is by not letting them occur. Also the tools you used did show what they did and where they got their information from do but how can the reader or contributor know? What if other tools with other intentions are used? What if AI assisted bots will be used? Do I as a member wish to interact with technology being a participant?
Maybe pessimistic but AI will likely be used extensively in the thriving weapon industry and/or to gain dominance by countries already pushing that agenda.
It does not seem the tool for normal people to learn technical/hobby stuff the usual way by learning the theory and then learning by doing/verifying. They skip a few essential steps it seems. The feeling is that people (or worse: companies) can start doing things entirely relying on technology they both don't master, like me starting tomorrow to cook in a 5 star restaurant with AI assistance.

I think it can. With appropriate/adequate prompting, it can emulate a plethora of personas. I can test it if you are interested.
