The lightning-fast evolution of AI-related technology and methods challenges many production processes including software development. Most AI training data in this sector derives from a huge library of open source code from sites like Github. The issue is that most of the code is not public domain and can only be used following the terms of a license agreement. Utilizing parts for commercial products is not allowed in many cases. It's also possible to generate source code from already compiled copyright-protected programs and recompile them or parts with the help of AI.When it comes to AI-assisted programming the question to answer is: Did the company that provided the training data for the AI care about those things or not? Definitely there were no rules and laws how to train an AI in the past. Similar things apply to other generated creative content like texts, images, videos and music.
For now, we at SKYLIFE have decided not to use AI-assisted programming and content creation for SampleRobot. Also our support will stay personal. We really enjoy the exchange with you.
Btw. here is a nice message from Charlie Bladon, keyboardist from New Zealand, who reached out recently.
I have been successfully sampling for a month or two now. Fantastic software. As a gigging keyboardist, I have managed to successfully sample all my favourite VSTs into my Prophet X and now go to gigs without a computer/audio interface. The whole process has been relatively effortless. Would not have been possible without SampleRobot.
Thank you, Charlie.
