Comment on Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly

  I am an end user and I find it quite handy for a number of applications.

  The reasoning "I don't find it useful and therefore nobody finds it useful" is common in these sorts of threads.

    That’s not what I said. But if the sentiment is that common, maybe there’s something to it.

      You made an assertion about what end users want. I'm an end user and my desires are not the same as your desires.

      But if the sentiment is that common, maybe there's something to it.

      Or maybe it's just a common fallacy. Like argumentum ad populum.

        I made a generalization based on the abundance of comments from people saying they don’t want AI. Your desires may not be the desires of the majority of users.

        Or maybe it’s just a common fallacy. Like argumentum ad populum.

        It’s not. Saying a bunch of people don’t want something because a bunch of people are saying they don’t want it isn’t argumentum ad populum. I never made an assessment about whether AI was good or bad.

        If you want to argue that Lemmy doesn’t represent users at large, or that the people complaining about AI are a loud minority, go for it. But the vast majority of comments on anything AI related seem opposed to it.

        I’m with you on this one. I love Lemmy, but it’s a small community here and skews towards a very specific foss tech nerd demographic that doesn’t represent the general population in any way. It seems like most users are aware of that but not everybody is self-aware enough to realize that. I like trying out AI features, I like to see them be integrated into software so they can be more useful. They’re not perfect at all but just because they’re not perfect doesn’t mean they should be abandoned in their entirety.

  I’m an end user and I demand text to speech AI
