First, citation needed on these people who want AI. People on LinkedIn will hate to hear this, but I don't think the average user does.

Second, I don't understand your point. Do you actually believe the average user would feel compelled to switch to Firefox? Why? Instead, Mozilla is taking aim at their current users.

    It sucks specifically because the megacorps want to make the AI look better than it is and because they want to keep people on search results pages...

    The shittyness is a feature to these vultures.
