"I question the wisdom of tying a BIAB feature to a new online service like ChatGPT."
It surprised me too. There are other areas of the software that waited for way too long to be finished and actually had been requested.

I wish they would make this lyric thing an "optional" / complementary install, in fact I wish they would consider any possible future AI stuff to be an optional install.

#1 - I am pretty confident, many users have no interest in it.
#2 - The issues described in this thread.
#3 - You have to be online sending and receiving data to use it and it's an extra unwanted process in audio software.

I am not an anti-AI. I believe some areas of BIAB can be "fixed" using AI, but not plugged in full time. Example of this would be for PGM use AI technology to group and tag their existing library, build a database for easy finding, grouping, sorting. But once the database is built, use it as stationary code, that is independent from internet. Do future incremental updates in similar manner.
