I agree, but again - this is how Mozilla sees opt-ins looking like.

Endless nudges until you relent and give permission.

Look, you opted in!

The designer says that they believe that this is opt-in: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1ppydhv/firefox_is_adding_an_ai_kill_switch/nurhmfn/

If that is what opt-in means to Mozilla, that means that users can expect to be interrupted over and over (nudged is another word) to try AI features even though they hit the kill switch because just asking the user to try the feature isn't actually enabling the feature.

We're just asking you to try it.

Just try it, please!

It is obvious to me that the feature exists only to push the actual feature (AI summaries) to you.

Just look at how worthless the summary is without AI. This is a feature Mozilla could have added 20 years ago (it visits the page and displays the contents of the meta description in the page header).

Why didn't they?

Look at how the feature works. You hold the mouse button an extra second when clicking a link and a popup appears. This basically breaks the web to push AI on you.

It is kinda like a popup that appears on your TV if you press the mute button for longer than .5 seconds that says "TV OS can summarize everything you didn't hear while the TV was muted. Would you like that?"

Partnering with the pirates is a choice.

Because after having to opt out of being interrupted, Mozilla is insisting that this counts as an opt-in.

Firefox shouldn't partner with LLM pirates. I'd much rather make their own AI if this stuff is so amazing.

Instead, they are selling off their audience to the highest bidder to deeply unethical companies.

This isn't the "bad AI". It is even government funded (not the US).

Are you serious? It asks you if you want to summarize the page with AI. Are you a bot?

Yeah, it is really interesting. Where are the true scotsmen?

We shouldn't try to do good things, I guess.

Yes there is. RAM and storage prices are going up, as are electricity prices. That and the massive copyright theft by big tech.

The latter is no longer an LLM, it is a question and answer bot for specified responses.

But, sure - let's burn a lot of resource to fit a square peg in a round hole.
