What's the point in disabling unconfigured (and thus unusable) plugins? Are you afraid they might magically configure themselves?

Still curious - if I configure an AI Provider, then what?

Where do I get to ask: What was the name of Prospero's daughter?

No clue. That's part of what makes worrying about this opt-in only feature a bit silly. You really have to want to use it to use it.

I find the Calibre Help file a bit thin on AI config and use.

(IMHO Good Manuals and help are more difficult than the code they document )

Which even further supports the notion that one has to really WANT to use it to configure and use it.

People are conflating the plugins being enabled by default with AI being enabled by default, by the way. AI features are still completely opt-in by default. No manual configuration, no AI. Period.

But, but, but AI. What if it became sentient and opted in itself? Then what, smart guys?

I'm more worried about the chances of my 3D printer deciding to churn out a working smartphone.

May I have one if it does please?

I agree with the premise that AI is available if you want it but it has to be configured so if you don't want it, don't configure it.
