I read "Audacity ads" and thought for a moment they had gone to the dark side

We already had a scare with them, but turns out it was very unfair overreaction to the project.

In this case I'm happy as long as it's hardware platform independent and uses open source released models.

AI music art has been for a long time in the hands of industry moguls and us peasants have had nothing. So I'm happy with anything that puts this power in the hands of the everyman.

Was it unfair? I haven't been following since they got bought out by spyware?

EDIT: Audacity was acquired by a company called MuseGroup in 2021 who added unnecessary telemetry and they admit that they do provide the data the collect to third parties. Some claim the changes were reverted but I haven't confirmed that myself so until I see there is no telemetry it's spyware as far as I'm concerned.
