The problem with Firefox doing AI is theyre one foot out always. The features they add are always undercooked compared to the rest of the market. This looks really shit and useless in its current state like a worse version of perplexity browser.
All AI is undercooked: Errors are baked into LLMs and there is no viable solution to prevent the mistakes and outright bullshit they produce other than to assume it fucked up and pay an actual expert manually check literally everything it does.
Errors are baked into everything, the tasks LLMs can do do not require perfect output and do not require an expert to manually review everything. It doesnt need to be perfect to be useful
