    It’s weird to me that the only thing Mozilla says about AI in the ad, besides the fact it’s optional to use, is that people are creeped out by it.

    If they only present a thing as bad, isn’t the natural next step to simply remove it? Nobody is forcing them to ship it.

      two-faced mozilla is trying very much to chase the newest trends and play the both sides, showing off whichever fits them at the moment. now these chatbots are creepy and no one wants them but at the same they have to add them to firefox because they’re the future and everyone wants them. just like all that times they talked about how personalized ads are bad and then added a preselected toggle to send performance data to advertisers. or when they talk about giving users more power and choice and then implement widevine’s cdm.

      they want a userbase but also want the money to keep flowing, so they’ll tell the users what they want to hear and then implement the newest fad to keep in good terms with the big tech.

      There’s a switch, it’s that simple.

      I’m willing to bet my ass that if they didn’t offered AI at all, half of the community would complain they’re missing the boat or something.

      The world is currently rule by a bunch of pedo-oligarchs, can’t we just stop complaining about the smallest things and appreciate the fact that we still have a strong alternative to chromium and Google browser? Mozilla isn’t perfect but it isn’t the bad guy.

        Nobody asked for AI in Firefox. Seriously, go look. I have.

        The world is currently rule by a bunch of pedo-oligarchs

        It’s very ironic that they’re all riding the same AI train. What’s to say that pedo-oligarchy isn’t The Inevitable Future too? Should Mozilla just support that?

        looks like they are
