For anyone tracking what's going on with generative AI appearing in the eBook software calibre, the calibre developer seems to be asking us to avoid his software:<br><br>In a <a href="https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/pull/2838#issuecomment-3172625811" rel="nofollow">GitHub issue</a> about adding LLM features:<br><p>I definitely think allowing the user to continue the conversation is useful. In my own use of LLMs I tend to often ask followup questions, being able to do so in the same window will be useful.<br></p>In other words he likes LLMs and uses them himself; he's probably not adding these features under pressure from users. I can't help but wonder whether there's vibe code in there.<br><br><br>In the <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/2134316/comments/3" rel="nofollow">bug report</a>:<br><p>Wow, really! What is it with you people that think you can dictate what I choose to do with my time and my software? You find AI offensive, dont use it, or even better, dont use calibre, I can certainly do without users like you. Do NOT try to dictate to other people what they can or cannot do.<br></p>"You people", also known as paying users. He's dismissive of people's concerns about generative AI, and claims ownership of the software ("my software"). He tells people with concerns to get lost, setting up an antagonistic, us-versus-them scenario. We even get scream caps!<br><br>Personally, besides the fact that I have a zero tolerance policy about generative AI, I've had enough of arrogant software developers.
