I begin to believe that we are here in our own bubble. Most lemmy users are against AI implementation. One can see tons of news articles that state that AI implementation failed in many businesses. According to many here, they either expect AI bubble to burst soon or believe that it will do so in near future. Literally everyone would say that putting AI in firefox is a terrible idea that will stray more users off the browser.
If they fear losing user base by not implementing AI, I doubt they are deaf to all the tiny community they have. That is 100% not the “fear” of missing out. That is very likely money grab that was paid by major AI company(ies). They cant be so much blind that they would destroy their community just to not to miss out on AI craze (that also likely already had passed).
They fear falling behind other browsers and losing users because of it.
They see AI prevalence and see it as an opportunity to profile and position Mozilla as a leader in “ethical ai”.
They see AI use cases and success and think they have to integrate it to have additional, useful, significant features.

This is money. But money hunger will ruin Mozilla
