the comment is going "grrr ai" i was pointing out that the ai features currently in firefox (translation and alt-text) are local and privacy respecting. You cant just ignore things that dont fit your opinion.

second, that chatbot thing you're crying about is OPT IN AND only in nightly, let you choose any chatbot available online, not just the ones they named, and on top of that it most likely will never make it into a non-nightly release, because theyve decided to make that kind of ai feature an extension instead.

Also, when i say that a model is open source, i am referring to the binary being downloadable and the model weights being freely available.

You clearly saw the word "ai" and decided that mozilla was as bad as google, without looking into it at all.

You asked how Mozilla betrayed users, so let's focus on that. I don't care about the ways they haven't betrayed users, in the same way I don't care about how Seamus built a bridge.

No, it's in Firefox 130. I know this because I use Firefox.

it most likely will never make it into a non-nightly release

LOL

This is not what open source means. If that's the case, Microsoft Windows is open source. Go nuts.

People aren't blindly saying all AI is bad. They were pointing at a specific thing. Do not strawman.

it's in the "labs" section, its disingenuous to imply it isnt. I was wrong to say its only in nightly, but its still an opt-in experimental feature.

Also, truncating my arguments in quotes to make me look stupid and trying to exclude any facts you dont like is a dick move, and you know it, i'm not going to respond to the rest of this because you are clearly not arguing in good faith.

You're the one who volunteered the claim that it was in Nightly. Not me. It's crazy you're calling me disingenuous for using the same language as you did. This is tone policing at a whole new level.

This is a bold claim without evidence. If you have multi-pronged points that require everything to be true, and the first part of it is wrong, I don't feel like I have to go over the rest. And if you're doing whataboutism, I have no problem with skipping that either.
