MODERATORS
You couldn't have said it better. If money and revenue is an issue, then why keep chasing the next shiny thing.
Just last month, they had a press release announcing they'll incorporate AI into their product suite. In my opinion, the release was just a buzzword laden nonsense. I just don't see the why other than to keep themselves relevant.
I did some digging into FakeSpot's history. I don't have the pages handy, but they didn't call themselves an AI company until 2022. I doubt anything changed. And at one point, they were even dabbling with NFT verification (something they've since purged from their site).
Mozilla is chasing trends by... Buying other companies that are also chasing trends.
