I'm not sure if I see the problem with this

None of these are a definitive "No I don't use AI". What a shit survey

One of the ideas of a market research survey like these is to check if there is market demand for a given addition to a product. It does not mean they want to add it, i means they want to add it if user want it added.

Seems like they are asking how loudly they should announce the addition of AI to their software. If the survey comes back positive they'll shout Audio Assistant Support from the rooftops, if nobody wants it they'll put it in anyway, but it will be a buried feature in the bottom of an obscure update note 'AAS added to collect data to enhance user workflow and customize UX'.

I've been using Tenacity for a while now. Audacity has become problematic. But honestly, I don't do too much audio editing. Just some clipping and noise removal.

I can't believe they have the audacity to do this. The audacity!

I answered this question with Other: You should be ashamed for even asking this question.

That survey sounds more like they're thinking about asking an MCP API to it. That is, an AI assistant could be connected to send calls to perform tasks through Audacity without needing OpenClaw-like full computer access.

One use case I can imagine is, an indie game developer has a recording they want to use but it's noisy and they're bad at sound editing so they ask an AI to do something about it. The AI sees an exposed Audacity MCP server and goes to town.

I guess it could work?

gasp

The audacity....

Couldn't help myself, apologies

Seems like an indication they wanna know what the users want to do but it'd be nice to be able to say "yes" to the non generative uses only

Isn't Audacity FOSS? I might be assuming 100% here...
