People have lost $2m contracts due to allegations of LLM/Generative/Agentic AI being used.
It seems to remain in the "Similar Books" menu.
This endorsement and adoption of AI by Calibre is untenable for writers. It poisons the well. It adds nothing that can't be done outside of Calibre by users that want to use the unreliable & unethical tools from Alphabet, Microsoft, Musk, Anthropic and OpenAI. Oracle has bet too hard and is likely to go bust.
Alphabet/Google has gone too far with Chrome, compromises Apple MacOS installs and everyone's PCs with the silently installed LLM. Mozilla has added features that users overwhelmingly voted against, though about:config allows disabling of that and their illegal telemetry. There is UnGoolged Chromium, Vivaldi, Waterfox and other forks. There is now an almost complete AI free fork of Calibre.
The code adds bloat. By default on a new install the plugins are enabled.
Windows 11 is and many MS Applications are now a mess with Co-pilot. Yet the plagiarising, environment destroying LLM systems can't ever make profit. Only Nvidia and the chip makers and companies supplying shovels (builders of datacentres) are making money in this "goldrush" built on stolen human creative works.
A program that manages ebooks, metadata and search of the content enabling and encouraging LLM use is obscene.
