"It’s safe to say that the people who volunteered to “shape” the initiative want it dead and buried. Of the 52 responses at the time of writing, all rejected the idea and asked Mozilla to stop shoving AI features into Firefox."

The post is about the new AI Window feature, and here’s its description from Mozilla’s own announcement:

Now, we’re excited to invite you to help shape the work on our next innovation: an AI Window. It’s a new, intelligent and user-controlled space we’re building in Firefox that lets you chat with an AI assistant and get help while you browse, all on your terms. Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off.

So, definitely agentic.

And I think a lot of the "anti AI folks" here are also angry about recent non-agentic AI additions that Mozilla added, such as e.g. tab recommendations for tab groups.

I’ll speak honestly: I’m not happy with that either. But that’s incidental to this topic. The agentic component is my biggest concern.

Hmm could be different commenting styles; I, and I think the thread started as well, regularly broaden a topic in response to an article. So my interpretation when they spoke about people having "AI as a trigger word" was that they were referring to people with concerns about more than just agentic AI. But if you want to limit it to that, feel free to ignore my original reference to search engines.
