I’m using AI to code my own tools. Since it's just for me, I don't see the problem. I've actually managed to create a Linux clone of Mp3tag, and now I’m building a custom music server and app. The real advantage is getting exactly the features I want. Just don't expect to find the code online—I steer clear of those bloated Git repositories.
