Chopping and Flipping AI Generated Samples: Is the final beat AI-Assisted or not?

If I export stem from Suno, sample one of the stems, chop the sample using Ableton’s simpler, flip it, and then create a new beat out of it, is it still AI-assisted even if I did everything by myself?

If you export a stem from Suno (an AI tool), chop it, flip it, and make a beat with your own creativity, whether your final track is called “AI-assisted” depends on who you ask—because there’s no single rule yet:

• Some people and platforms will say “yes, it’s AI-assisted”
  because the original sound (the stem) was made by AI. They focus on the source, even if you did all the creative work afterward.
• Others, especially many producers and artists, might say “no, it’s all you”
  if you’ve put in a lot of work, changed the sound, and made something original. They focus on how much you transformed the AI sound.

Right now:

• There’s no clear answer that everyone agrees on.
• The music community is still discussing and figuring out these rules.
• Being honest about your process (“I started with an AI stem and made it my own”) is the best approach for now.

Bottom line:
Some will call it AI-assisted, others won’t. You did everything yourself creatively—but because you started with AI, the “label” is still a gray area with lots of debate. The important part is your creativity and being transparent about your workflow.
