The effort to put the AI into Firefox harmed the project and unrelated services. My opinion is it was not worth the cost

To me, AI in Firefox is a symbol for why and how Mozilla lost its momentum. I could have used other bone headed and incompetent decisions, but the switch to the AI had such a large burden that it’s literally the poster child for inept management.
