You find it stupid because without me you wouldn’t have needed 3 entire paragraphs explaining away a “feature”. You’re obviously too idiotic to realise that though, and would prefer people to not know about the AI.
Ironic considering you think it’s such a good feature lmao. As if. You’re just post-hoc rationalising the enshittification because you all drool for Firefox like good little shills.
I’m curious, what exactly are your issues with the AI implementations the poster above you mentioned?
Because to me, they seem like very specific usecases where they actually offer benefits. It doesn’t seem like someone just went “everyone is doing ai… Let’s slap ai on Firefox so we stay one of the cool kids!”.
Example: I live in a country where I don’t speak the language. Instead of using a plugin for Firefox which translates e.g. government sites by sending them to Google translate, FF has been handling this locally for a couple of months now. Seems like a win to me.
Similarly, I imagine that vision impaired folks will receive a real benefit by not having to deal with the way-too-large number of websites not providing alt tags for images.
If (yes, I know, big IF) the models FF ships are indeed ethically trained and run fully locally… Then I kinda don’t get the issue
