As much as the seeming inevitability of AI annoys me, hopefully Mozilla can do what they say and keep it from becoming the exclusive domain of a couple hyperscalers.
Would be one of the better outcomes for the tech’s adoption. I’m not optimistic about their chances this time, though. AI has way more financial and political backing than AOL and Internet Explorer ever did.
Look, I want my web browser to show what’s on the web pages. That’s the point of the web browser. That’s the definition of that software. This goes back to what communication is. What do you think happens when people communicate? How is that supposed to work? There should be a speaker and a message and a listener, but the more things you put in the middle, like AI, the more the message is likely to be diluted.
If Mozilla wants to build AI, why don’t they either make a new piece of software or put it all in an extension so that we can not use it if we don’t want to?
