I actually don’t think this is bad. As long as the feature remains optional and isn’t forced on users. LM Studio is a local LLM tool, not some cloud service siphoning your data. You remain in control and offline.

That's Just Great! I'm NOT going to update to that version. I Don't need A.I. to recomend books to me. I don't need it on my refrigerator, my washing machine or in my lightbulbs. If they push it, I will find a different Library manager.

It's been a while since I don't use Calibre. I switched to foliage, so for now I'm ok

If they want the feature to be available, they should make it a plugin

Maybe because it's a fork it's understood, but I'll ask anyway: does it have support for their plugins? I mostly use calibre to de-DRM my books and comics (I don't like to read on my PC), so that would be a deal breaker for me.

Lm-studio is completely offline, not experimented yet but it's not the usual cloud-nonsense. Witch is good vs bad. Atleast if online uses it's users input to learn biases. Not taken any side as I almost don't use them. Bet it going to run on cpu for amd users.

I'm considering just outright banning AI in the household. Words cannot express how frustrating it is for products to be "enhanced" by AI. As an on-demand service I could access if, heavy emphasis on if, if I need it I have no qualms with AI beyond the corporate ouroboros ruining the components market and the environment while guzzling tax credits (yeah, ok, none of that is a small qualm), but I truly loathe it being shoehorned into everything. And I LOVE the forks name.

My friends, I regret to inform you that AI has come for our beloved Calibre. Adding a backend for LM Studio is a very bad sign...
Fortunately, there's already a (cleverly named) fork: github.com/grimthorpe/clbre
