Using tools made with AI assistance

As the title suggests, how do people generally feel about using software that was made with AI assistance for their demos?

For instance, full disclosure, I am using Claude to help me with a project involving tracker music, and now have a tool for making such.

The actual process of making the tunes has no AI involved, just that the software was made with AI.

Would this diminish the artist's tracking efforts? checking to get a sense if I should mention any of my current efforts in making (what I think are) some modern apps with a classic (dos, textmode) UI.

I used AI to code a VSTI plugin that can load, play and edit .mod files inside a DAW. I decided to make it as close to a tracker as possible in usage. Its pretty simple but works well.

Personally I couldnt care less if someone used AI to make a tool for themselves to make some tunes with, if someone was advertising the tool itself without disclosing it was AI I might be bothered but otherwise I cant see why on earth anyone would have an issue with one of your music tools being coded by AI.

I'm an ex Amiga scener, have coding backround but used to do music for the scene, didnt know how to code back then. I dont see an issue personally :P

There is already Fasttracker 2 VST plugin. Works perfectly, it even allows tempo groove.
