Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser"

Yall saw Microsoft push stupid Copilot on everyone and fail miserably and said, “hold my beer!”
Bros, take the hint! No one wants AI bullshit. Firefox was the goto switch when Google Chrome was using 37 processes and 98% memory for one website… yall are fuckin up!

IT department at my job encourages everyone to use Copilot and try to implement it more… I don’t even know WHY I’d do it in the first place

That directive came from them but they didn’t want to issue it. I guarentee you the were told by higher ups to say that.

They claimed it’s for “safety” as “microsoft is to be trusted more than OpenAI” oh the irony!
also, not really higher ups to dictate our IT what to use, that makes it even better…

I work in IT with end users who average 45-50 years old. I can tell you where that message came from.
We’ve got users working with sensitive private information who are starting to use tools like ChatGPT and Gemini because their college kids told them they’re helpful for checking writing, or work better than search engines. Our users work remotely and if they decide to take a picture of what they’re working on and feed it into an OCR, there’s not much we can do to stop it. So we need to provide a sanctioned tool that at least gives us some controls over how data is handled and stored (not that Microsoft provides anything vaguely resembling perfect data transit and analysis into Copilot) so we can try to protect sensitive information and our end users as much as possible. Are we happy about having to deploy AI tools? Not even a little bit. I’d be happier if we all just collectively rolled back a few years. But our options are sanctioned tool and policy or failing audits and here we are.

Management most likely read their horoscopes in some business blog.
