How breathtakingly offensive.

Version 8.3 of Calibre is the last without any genAI at all.

Calibre, the open-source ebook manager, now lets you use generative AI to create new covers for ebooks.

Preset prompts are included for sci-fi, romance and noir, or you can write your own.

@troublewithwords I tried Calibre for awhile, but it had issues; much prefer Foliate.

@troublewithwords Search for, I think clbre? I seem to recall someone a moderate while ago got annoyed at the genAI getting pushed into calibre and consequently forked it with the ai bits removed (hence the name)

@UweHalfHand @troublewithwords Thanks! It's https://github.com/grimthorpe/clbre

GitHub - grimthorpe/clbre: A fork of Calibre called Clbre, because the AI is stripped out.
