Oh good they've protected me from the evil AI that they chose on their own to introduce. I am immensely thankful
Come on this is pathetic, They're the ones that cause the problem in the first place. They don't get credit for correcting their own messes.
What's pathetic is your whining. Like, what does 'don't get credit' even mean? They updated the software with a thing people requested. Yeah, they did something a lot of people didn't want. Great. Nobody is here saying 'omg Mozilla is so amazing for giving us this great feature' and Mozilla is still drifting into the evil capitalist corpo garbage they've been headed towards.
We get it, you don't like ai. And many people who have had to use LLMs recognize them for the bullshit machines they are. I'm not here to defend them.
But stop being a little bitch about it. If you want to complain, complain about the myriad issues they haven't bothered fixing or addressing.
Right so you agree with me but you're going to be insulting anyway for some reason. Get off the internet you terminally online freakin nature don't be swearing at me for no readily apparent reason.
