"It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox."

It's a tool, and I'm glad that you have the opportunity to use it whenever you need. However, I'm not planning to use it, just like I'm not planning on using a bench saw. I don't mind people using bench saws, but it would be nice if tech companies would stop throwing bench saws at my face everytime I go outside.

The issue is more of how much LLM are marketed as the saviour of the world, while only a fraction of their users are actually going to have a use for it

    The important thing is that we communicate our strategy around bench saw adoption.

    We're hiring a bench saw adoption consultant and we want you to meet with them this afternoon.

    He said some great things about bench saws when we invited him to speak about accounting.

    @nic2555 @FaceDeer In the USA, it appears that SawzAll reciprocating saws have replaced the hammer as the tool for every purpose.I recently watched someone use one to vibrate a trowel to tamp down poured concrete.

    I have yet to see Firefox "throw bench saws in my face", as it were. It's been adding options to various menus. There are plenty of features Firefox has added over the years that I don't use, for example I don't use container tabs, but I don't think Firefox has "thrown them in my face"; they're just an option sitting in the file menu that I never click on.

    A lot of people get offended by the mere existence of AI-driven tools, though, and interpret their existence as it being "thrown in their face." This puts them at odds with folks like me who use them, or at least want to try them out, because the only way to satisfy them would inherently leave me unsatisfied.
