So if it only lets the llm see highlighted text, whats the point of even adding it into calibre. It takes 0 extra seconds to paste that text into google or chatgpt or duck.ai or whatever
You know it doesn't take 0 seconds. Record yourself. If you are studying or something (and need AI comments somehow), it's a good feature.
There’s also a small mental cost to switching contexts, from reader to browser.
This is actually one of the better uses of AI I’ve seen because it is literally asking a large language model about language.
I probably still won’t use it, but at least it makes sense!
