Thanks for the quick reply and clarification. My current understanding is that the plugin simply unlocks the AI code that will be embedded in Piwigo 16. Maybe I understand incorrectly.

The AI engine can't be in Piwigo. Technical requirements (GPU + a lot of memory) are too high to be embedded in Piwigo which has very low requirements. Piwigo AI will run on Piwigo.com servers. The Piwigo AI plugin will make the link between your Piwigo and Piwigo AI servers.

Technically, even if you activate the Piwigo AI plugin in your Piwigo, there is no AI engine that will run on your server. Not with the technology we have tested so far.

Thank you for this additional explanation. It is really helpful! :-)

Will it be possible to delete the plugin completely (not only deactivate) without harm?

I don't understand the question. Just deactivate the plugin. You can also uninstall/remove it, but it will come back on each Piwigo major upgrade (because it will be provided with standard releases).

Reminder: a plugin is a directory (with files full of PHP code) in the "plugins" directory. The principle is that the code of the plugin is only in its directory, separated from the core. The core does not rely on plugins. You can remove all plugins and Piwigo will still work fine.
