I don’t trust any feature that uses the word “AI.”

Ideally, such things should be transparent to the user. As in features that are useful without having to understand the underlying programming mechanisms.

Take FF’s local translation. That’s an immensely useful feature. No one cares that it uses a language model or about any of the details, because it just works well enough, and is useful enough to stand on its own as an advantage over Chromium.

…If they have to brand a feature to make it appealing, that’s a bad sign. Otherwise why TF would I want expensive tab sorting or things like that?
