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.

MODERATORS
You sound like an old conservative bitching about the Internet in the 90s. Were you furious 10 years ago about the word "server"?
AI is not NFTs, the metaverse, or Windows Recall. It's not a monolith. It cannot simply be reduced to "good" or "bad". It is a marketing term applied to a natural progression of computing technology. It has pros and cons. It will become more power efficient over time. Some use cases will go away and we will find areas where it shines. Be angry at how Big Tech is abusing it, sure, but educate yourself about what it is or continue to splinter yourself culturally away from society.
Go ahead and do a google search. You're free to. It's wonderful. You can search for a specific product and it'll spit out links to buy completely unrelated products. You can try to access basis info about a business and not find it. You can ask technical questions and not get answers. It's all out there but will you see it? No. Why? Because fuck you, apparently.
You can ask a chatbot and get any of that info. There's a small chance it'll be wrong. But you can ask again. Or try google.
Do I love this situation? I fucking hate it. I'd rather have a functional search engine than ask a chatbot. But it IS the situation. If you don't like it then don't use it.
If you honestly believe that one of the most useful technologies ever invented is going to be abandoned because people don't like it, or it's been placed somewhere it maybe shouldn't be, then I have a bridge to sell you.
I guess option 2, why stop now.
