Comment on Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins

  Open source projects are now catching up to the AI buzzword. I wonder who could be behind this.

    AI, like cloud computing, is just a layman’s term for something else. You will not be able to stem the tide of language changing. It just means machine learning now. Just like how cloud computing is just a term for computing in a k8s cluster in someone’s data center.

      Neural nets have been a part of AI ever since the term was coined 70 years ago. The one thing one could complain about is that the term may be narrowing to that specific approach.

      Strictly, neural nets are a specific kind of ML and ML is a specific kind of AI. The term AI seems to have gone out of fashion in academia, though.

        AI is far too broad of a term, for sure.

    This is Intel's plug-in, with otherwise no relation to Audacity

        This is a case where you didn’t even need to read the article. You just had to read the headline!

    Audacity was already in the trash since the buyout and telemetry data collection.

      I never understood the opposition to anonymized telemetry. While adding an entire network stack for it is certainly quite atrocious, there's no problem with the principle I can see.

        Some people prefer to not have their every action watched and observed by some anonymous Big brother.

        The people who do not get that are the people who profit from the watching, and the people that are, best case, inconsiderate of the desires and feelings of other people.

        It is not normal nor is it natural to claim ownership of other people's activity.

        It is normal and natural to wish to exist without being observed. Privacy is a fundamental human right and companies are taking advantage of the fact that it is not legally enforced.

        Hopefully the laws will catch up and make it so that each and every individual opportunity to directly observe a person must be explicitly approved beforehand with a set time limit on the observation, and that all telemetry must be made publically available and transparent, not only during the original acquisition of data but also in each and every single usage of that data after the fact.

        It is only fair after all that should accompany wish to observe you that they must also be equally observed.
