OK you read the headline.

Imagine if Caliber had an AI tool that trained itself on all its books such that a user could ask a question regarding those specific books. And then extrapolate. Imagine if anyone anywhere could then ask questions to your local AI and get answers without actually sharing your books.

Right now I host my own Caliber server but I don’t even know if I can search a term and get a particular book that contains thar term. I think it can search the title and metadata. I’m probably wrong. But the point is that it could be so much more. And it could circumvent the copyright laws that have always held back knowledge.

Like maybe my car broke down and I could ask IA why and how to fix it. Then it would start asking for the make and model and what sort of sounds it made. It would then search forums, our books and formulate an answer composed in the form of a book specifically written for me about my car’s particular problem and how to solve it. Maybe better just a speech that you could listen to while fixing the car step by step…“now look a little to the left and you’ll find a large box with 3 screws…”

It would be awesome to have that locally for my books and have access to everyone else’s knowledge in books too.

    Not just that but. My own notes from say Joplin. Can it consume those and expand my knowledge based on things I’ve already done and results I’ve already tried. And that’s still just an example. I could be a race car driver learning a particular race way or a set of other drivers etc.
