My thoughts as to why this needs to happen: Currently, while it’s stated that the app only transmits the ‘software version’ info back to the server, there is no way to conf…

Regarding the original topic of this thread. There are already many AI plugins and more are posted everyday. Just search the community directory.

I wasn’t making any argument; I was correcting a mistake. Obsidian isn’t open source. tdyy said “while Obsidian, as an open-source note-taking software”.
