From the article: "This release also introduces Anthropic and Grok backends for Claude and Grok models. (…)
Coming three weeks after Calibre 9.13, the Calibre 9.14 release is here to introduce more AI features, including the ability to generate book covers using AI with different cover styles such as romance, sci-fi, pulp fiction, etc., as well as Anthropic and Grok backends for Claude and Grok models, while removing the GitHub backend."
I don’t have it installed at the moment but wonder how easily you can disable that stuff.
Previously it said the AI stuff is optional and doesn’t start doing anything until you configure it. It’s disabled by default.
why
How do these people not vomit looking at ai slop images? I don’t understand. I’d rather spend a few minutes searching for an image I like than generate it. It makes no sense to me.
It’s not a feature, it’s a bug.
I loved Calibre before all the AI stuff. I’ve decided to fork the project and gut out all of the AI features. I’m tenatively calling it Calibre- (Calibre minus) just for the giggles. Not sure if other people care about this or not, but an AI-gutted calibre is coming.
Thanks for this and I see arcalibre too. I’m a bit worried that neither have updated in a number of months now, but I’ll see if I can help out there before continuing on with my own thing.
