What I see is them asking whether or not their users want to see "AI" in Audacity and that sounds like a perfectly fine thing to survey for. There is also an option for a custom response, go answer with something like "I will stop using Audacity if AI functionality gets implemented" if you care about it.

On the other hand, I think Audacity has been using LLMs on the development side for a while now and Tenacity exists with a clear no-slop policy.

    The only areas I’d would use “AI” in Audacity would be to better clean up background noises more easily and possibly split tracks up so I could maybe hear the voices better or instuments better depending on the scenario. GenAI is a hard no otherwise.

    That and image upscaling (like waifu2x) are AI software I don't actually mind. Although I'd want to have proper ethical suite (aka disclose the training data, open source models, runs on your device)

    The fact they are asking, means they are considering. And that's grounds for uninstalling it and looking for an alternative.
