Oh my fucking god. I just right clicked a link to an article to open it in a new tab in Firefox and saw an option to “Ask an AI Chatbot (Z).” Fucking EW. There was thankfully an option to remove it from my context menu, but oh my fucking god, AI bros are so fucking desperate to adopt this tech en masse, I swear to god.

Let the fucking bubble burst, nobody fucking likes generative-AI and making it goddamn inescapable is not going to make us like it. Let it go the way of NFT and the metaverse like it goddamn deserves. If generative-AI was genuinely that fucking good, people would naturally adopt it like we did with computers. Companies did not have to work this hard to get people to adopt computers because their purpose and value was obvious.

And @mozilla, @firefox please for the love of god, stop adding AI features. I get you’re partially funded by Google, but grow a goddamn spine and listen to your users. People do not like these features and expect better from you. Firefox is supposed to be about privacy and generative-AI is NOT good for privacy (do I even need to mention Windows Recall?) You wanna be the alternative to Google so bad, yet you do the same scummy, disliked sh!t everyone hates Google for.

    This might shock you but Firefox is trying to appeal to people who are not already firefox users.

    Fuck them if they want the opposite of what firefox users want. Stop fucking chasing whoever isn’t already on board with your current offering by fucking over your current users.

      Firefox isn’t really viable with it’s current user base. Mozilla is circling the drain really.

          If you think that’s what I believe, you’re even dumber than I thought. Fucking pathetic. Truly, you are a binary thinking dope of miniscule thinking capacity.

          Seriously, if rightfully judging the Democrats implies to you that I support Republicans or especially Trump, then you are a brainless fool. A blithering moron incapable of understanding nuance.

          Two things can be bad at the same time. So go right ahead and blame me, someone with NO political power, when the Democrats HAVE political power and will not stop it.

          You are a fucking pathetic victim-blaming loser. Do better.

            People who make everything about how much Democrats suck are rightfully judged as untrustworthy. Your insults mean nothing.
