Why would they add LLMs to Calibre? Maybe update the dogshit UI instead. Insane that even Calibre is headed down the LLM shitfest.

Why would they add LLMs to Calibre?

It looks like it's so you can "discuss" a book with the overgrown autocomplete, or ask it what to read next if you are incapable of independent thought. I could, sort of, understand making a plugin for this sort of nonsense, but building it in, as a brief check of their site suggests has happened, is so utterly ridiculous that it defies rationality.

I liked Calibre, I've even contributed code to it, but it looks like I'll be investigating this fork now.

Which is funny because that is one of the things that LLMs are particularly bad at.
