This is getting a bit more traction than my posts usually do, so hi, people reading me, a bit more context for my being pissed off about Calibre putting AI into its feature set:I am an author. I've released work with Carina Press, and I've released work on my own. My released work is on record as HAVING BEEN STOLEN BY OPENAI, and I am in fact one of the many, many authors who've had to file claims on the settlement with Anthropic.So I am not kidding when I say I don't want that technology, technology which HAS STOLEN FROM ME, anywhere near a program I use. ESPECIALLY the program I've used to not only manage my ebook library, but even perform format conversions on my work to prep it for sale. /1
