Firefox has begun the AI enshitification process

Dude, it's like five things – one of which is just translations that can be performed locally, and another of which is an alt text accessibility option – with an obvious universal kill switch (and of course individualized ones). Calm your tits. Chill your balls. I don't use LLMs at all except for translations, and I still think the whinging over this is completely overblown.

"Begun" implies a slippery slope of much more, and that just doesn't seem to be the case.
