I don't think the backlash is coming from the features. It's coming from the fact that we're constantly being prompted to please try the "AI" features. Companies installing "AI " on your devices without you asking. Re-installing them when you try to delete them. They don't even ~~tell~~ show you why it's better they just slap "AI" on it.
Anything that this tech does and is actually good, speaks for itself, so it just goes unnoticed. People end up associating it with the worst and now Firefox is also saying: Hey we have "AI" too. Of course people are gonna be mad, especially when they are already fed up with being prompted to try it constantly.
So it's a PR problem?
I hate how everything depends on marketing (manipulation)
Thank you for your input
