Being skeptical due to trends is not FUD.
Being skeptical isn't the same thing as trashing them. Mozilla are not above reproach, and should be questioned thoroughly to ensure that they are being completely clear and honest and not using weasel words to gloss over some common trends with implementations of AI.
Honestly the only reason I even engage is because Mozilla/Firefox are the most respecting of privacy or the big players and I want that to continue.
Local models doesn't guarantee that all data stays local. Do you assume that local AI models in Firefox will NOT send any telemetry data as the default setting?
Wouldn't it be better to know for sure that they will have that either disabled or have telemetry as an opt in?
It has been a while since I installed Firefox, which I use daily, but I don't remember turning on any of the settings under Data Collection in Settings. Did I choose those and just forgot, or where they on and I needed to know to turn them off?
That is literally the thing my first post was referring to:
The second sentence about AI was explaining why I had that concern.
