AI in Firefox? Damn, guess it's time to use a fork

[–] [email protected] 62 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's not just about AI in Firefox, but rather making an open-sourced AI in general. The world is absolutely heading towards AI integrations being normal; personally I'm glad we've got Mozilla working on an AI rather than being limited to closed-source AIs made by for-profit companies.

This is basically how I see it. Whether we like it or not, its happening. Claiming it won't at this point is just as silly as all the people who claimed the internet was just a fad.

Better to have options, long as it's optional I don't have many issues with it.

Now if it's rammed down our throats, that's an entirely different story.

See ya in two years when AI is dead and mozilla is pivoting to "focus on the fundamentals" and only works on the browser

remindme! 2 years

They will never focus on the browser. It seems a prerequisite for being Mozilla leadership is to hate the browser and wish to remove it's taint from the mission.

Yeah. I want to have the option to turn off the ai as much as i want the option to go offline.
