I have been using and contributing documentation to open source software for 30+ years. I'm quite aware and appreciative of the work that goes into that.

Thanks.
The AI discussion was already held here a while ago. The answer to an AI-free calibre was no. Some folks then announced they intended to develop their own branch, but AFAIK nothing came of that.

The AI topic was pretty much beaten to death in the previous thread.
