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.

@deadbeef79000 Like, what are you hoping to achieve? All you did was make yourself look like an unreasonable, childish asshole. Like, if that's what you wanted, congrats, you did it.

@deadbeef79000 I genuinely don't get your train of thought, dude.

First you say you use GenAI. Okay.
Then when provided with a counter-argument, you refuse to read past the first sentence because you didn't like the tone. Okay.
Then when it's pointed out to you that doing so is kind of a d!ck move, you resort to childishly parroting what that person said. Okay?
Then when that person calls you out for said childish behavior, you double-down and unironically say, "I know what you are, but what am I?'" a phrase known to be said by childish assholes. Okay???
Then you for some reason just go, "Your mother," as if that makes any logical sense as any counter-argument or anything logically coherent to the conversation. What???
And now you're just quoting what I said.

What the fuck is your goal? I can keep going, dude. You resorting to the most childish, trite, and quite frankly, troll arguments makes you look like a complete idiot that no-one's going to take seriously. All you're doing is proving that GenAI users aren't reasonable and act like children when you try to have a conversation with them. Is that what you want?

@deadbeef79000 I'm going to bookmark this "conversation" so whenever someone asks me why I don't have serious conversations with AI bros, I can point a to perfect example. Thanks!

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

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. 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.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. 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.
