If you use an AI-generated image for your article/post, this indicates to me you might have also used AI-generated text.

If you use AI-generated text for your article/post then:

1- I have no idea if you verified the veracity of any claimed facts.

2- I have no idea what your own voice is.

3- I have no idea if this truly expresses your own views, and if you even cared to read it.

4- I have no idea what your intention is with this, other than exploiting my attention and clicks with the least amount of efforts on your part.

5- This shows me you have no respect at all for the labour that was stolen to build these tools, exploiting millions of artists and writers to make billions of dollars without any compensation to them whatsoever.

Why would I want to engage with any content like that?

• I don't want to communicate with a machine (I can do that by myself).

• I don't want to participate in this disgusting exploitation of artists and writers.

• And I want to communicate with another human, of course.

If your intention isn't to communicate with another human, then stop deceiving them making them think they are :no_ai:

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

Like your body reacts to the food you feed it,
Your brain reacts to the content you feed it.

Be mindful about what you feed your brain. Don't let the algorithms dictate what you eat and how you feel.

Pay attention to how a platform influences your mood and the way you think.

Are you getting addicted to downvoting in rage? 👎

Are you missing the doomscrolling adrenaline and increasingly looking to pick fights online, and offline? 🤬

These all affect your brain's chemistry,
and eventually your brain's structure even 🧠

Be careful what you feed your brain,
and who serves you this food.

Turns out, Stop the Slop has been a slogan for a year already.

FYI, slop = AI generated crap.

I am dreaming of a somehow human-curated privacy-respectful search engine that returns results that are free from all this intolerable AI-slop soup pollution, simply while using good old keywords.

Wouldn't that be great?
Wouldn't that be the future? 😌🌱
