Being generous, I'd say that about half of #Google #Gemini responses have some error or misunderstanding in them that I can recognize. Something like 25% are completely wrong or totally miss the point. I have no idea how many responses there are that are actually wrong in some respect but I don't have the background knowledge to recognize any errors. USELESS.

So, if you don't want Calibre to have an LLM, I believe your point of no return is version 8.11. 
Luckily, since Debian Stable is reasonable, the repository still has 8.5.
The thing I would recommend is if you use Calibre regularly and do not want any "ai" garbage, mark your version now in APT and hope that the @grimthorpe 's Clbre fork project continues to advance (I have hope) so that it will make a newer version of Calibre without LLM's easy to install.
For the time being, my Debian (and Debian based distro) friends, you can mark the current version to be safe.
Just run:
sudo apt-mark hold calibre
And to check that it worked, run:
apt-mark showhold

🥶 Samsung is putting Google Gemini AI into your refrigerator, whether you need it or not
｢ A refrigerator is expected to last many years. Cloud based AI services do not have the same track record. Samsung has not detailed how much processing happens locally versus in the cloud, nor how users can limit or disable data sharing if they choose ｣
