Someone said to me this morning "people who don't like AI are much more vocal about it than those who like it or don't care"
Yep, and people who don't like genocide are much more vocal about it than those who like it or don't care.
Perhaps an extreme example, but ultimately those speaking up about it should be listened to. The "erm it's OK actually" wall with a glazed stare into the middle distance just doesn't work.
Blink twice if you need help.
I don't feel you've really understood how we feel. But yes, some people may still be unhappy with the perceived default, but less people than right now. So long as we can have a browser than doesn't have the AI slop in it, most of us will be happy enough... though for some it is already too late and you're losing users who actually care.
Sure, we'll still be annoyed that Mozilla is piling its efforts into AI - but that's not going to change until it stops.
32x more builds doesn't seem to much of an issue, I come from a time when that was normal. Especially if you start to get data back that shows these non-AI builds are actually quite popular.
But, I was only trying to give a fair opinion - I personally would prefer no AI at all, but I felt my first comment was fair to all sides. If you wish to stay on the "EAT THE AI, USER!!!" path then that's on you and I wish you well. Chase the "don't care" market, that'll do great I'm sure.
