Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs

@Feyd@programming.dev @technology@lemmy.world

Maybe you got lucky and the routine which triggers said pop-ups didn't happen yet, doesn't mean that "that doesn't happen". Again: Firefox literally mentions pop-ups about "AI enhancement" features, it's not something I'm confabulating:

Block AI enhancements? You won't see new or current AI enhancements in Firefox, or pop-ups about them.

It's ipsis literis from the Firefox opt-out confirmation dialog. They wouldn't mention said pop-ups if they weren't to happen.

I’m out. There is no point taking with someone that repeatedly lies to try to support their point. Look, I’m against the majority of LLM usage and implementation as well, and I’d rather most of it not be in firefox as well, but:

You keep making up things firefox does that it doesn’t. I’m not even convinced you’ve used it

You keep talking about UX and dark patterns but you’re obviously making it to as you go

Basing conversation on obvious falsehoods is a waste of time

  What?! Lying?! It's literally in Firefox official git repo, for Goddess' sake!!

  (And, oh, as a double-twist, the following screenshot proves I do have Firefox, even though I use Waterfox as my daily driver; here I'm using Firefox because my GitHub account is logged in in there, and to dismantle your ad hominem that "I'm not even convinced you've used it [Firefox]" )
  
  But, you're right, there's no purpose in continuing this debate. Enjoy the new soon-to-be "Agentic Browser" Mozilla FAIrefox!
