Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

The frustrating part is that some people really, really like AI which is part of the reason it won’t just go away.
This right here. It's one of those situations where always asking the company to "Just listen to your users, ez, lol!" results in something that, surprisingly, quite a few people dislike.
Because yes, I'd say Most People™️ actively like AI-generated stuff, and of course there are valid use cases (like summarizing text and video content, the latter even helping with accessibility). But this in turn means that if a company listens to user input, they will shove AI into their products even if they would otherwise not be looking at doing it.
only if you don't care about accuracy or completely made up transcription that just didn't happen.
If a majority of users want it, offering the feature makes sense, as long as you can disable it.
Yea, the uncreative shitstains who can make nothing on their own because they do not understand the first thing about hard work or art.
I am not that person but I use AI to figure out mostly computer issues that I have troubles to Google for.
I guess Google got so fucked up that even adding reddit to a prompt doesn't yeld a good result. And if you didn't add "reddit", results are all over the place and you still fail to find an answer. Fuck quora, who dafuck uses quora? Never saw a good answer there like ever.
And then there is chatgp that gives you options and so far it's been quite on point at least for me.
My guess would be it is general Google entshittification rather than superiority of LLMs. People want answers for their questions and Google is failing to provide any good info for past 5 years.
Google has the answers, they just don’t care if you see them through the majority of sponsored content (ads).
I switched to Kagi last year. Even pulling results from google’s indexes it gives far more relevant results than google simply because it doesn’t force in any semi-related a sponsored results.
SEO killed the useable web and AI is killing the open web.
I feel bad for people who never got the chance to learn things in the golden age of the internet. It was so easy.
