  As much as i hate ai, and dont want it in any of my tools and programs, as a business it is a different thing.
  I believe it is a bubble and it needs to burst so bad atm, but as a business you do not want to be left behind on the hype train. Its a risk you are taking if you dont that if the bubble doesnt burst ( which it might not ) your company is left in the dust and dies.

  The more reasons i want it to pop, because businesses are not taking the risk (obviously) and its killing their program for me

    I don’t think there’s any evidence that AI needs to be baked into the browser. They have a robust extension ecosystem for this sort of thing.

      Duh, there’s no evidence that it needs to happen, but it’s the hype thing to do right now for web browsers, and Firefox is already way behind. I know it may be hard to believe if you only browse Lemmy (like myself), but the average person actually likes these so-called “AI” tools or at least a significant amount of them do.

      So Firefox needs to try and attract more normies from chrome, a lot of these “normal” people would be more likely to switch for that 'one killer ai feature".

      Also imo we should all be ready to switch to Ladybird when the first version comes out, I know I’ll be running the Alpha. If you don’t know Ladybird is a brand new browser written from the ground up, it’s also open source.

        This is probably true but makes me sad. I tell all my friends not to use the lie machines but a bunch of people at work use them all the time.
