[$] Calibre adds AI "discussion" feature

Version8.16.0 of the calibreebook-management software, released on December4, includes a"Discuss with AI" feature that can be used to query various AI/LLMservices or local models about books, and ask for recommendations onwhat to read next. The feature has sparked discussion among humanusers of calibre as well, and more than a few are upset about theintrusion of AI into the software. After much pushback, it looks asthough users will get the ability to hide the feature from calibre's userinterface, but LLM-driven features are here to stay and more willlikely be added over time.
