  • I've been reading about what really helped people who had problems with "AI Psychosis" and one tip jumped out at me:
    Ray McCarthyR Ray McCarthy

    @futurebird
    A very expensive privacy and environment destroying version of 1960s Eliza. When it does return something useful and accurate, it's copied from a book or the web, usually without permission.

    It's a plagiarism machine that also mixes in plausible junk, by design. So-called "hallucination" is marketing spin. The plausible junk is by design & is not really like hallucinations.

    " I want to make sure the community's voice is represented in these discussions."

    Then KILL ALL The stupid non-browser functions.

    Remove ALL AI code.

    Make Firefox work.
    Fix printing,

    Make it follow system GUI / theme.

    Stop copying Chrome or Wiindows.

    Unfortunately nothing by mozilla is now trustworthy.

    Just make a browser that is reliable, follows system theme / uI, has tabs attached to pages and doesn't make plug-ins obsolete. Even PDF should be OFF by default.

    It's been getting more broken every year.

    Forget integrating translations and AI.
