There’s another possibility I don’t see anyone talking about. It could just be the higher ups at Mozilla doing the old performative “we’re doing AI” dance for their shareholders and the investment community. Everyone assumes they are 100% sincere about embracing AI but this could simply be them paying the AI tax that all companies seem required to pay right now.
If this is plausible, then we should just wait for it to manifest as actual feature changes and then judge. Right now this is just high level messaging and PR.
If you've not been paying attention to their other random products, it would seem this is unlikely.
They just jump from random thing to random thing and collect money along the way, draining the coffers with their C-level titles. Absolutely bullshit.
