    All of what you said could be true, but every worst case scenario also now has a clear runway.

    They will start pushing ads and say it’s helping us by steering us to our interests. Nothing with be opt in, because it never is, and any amount of AI is too much. I also think there is a 0% chance that if they implement something AI, they won’t be training models off our collected data.

    I envy your optimism, but until literally any of these major companies steps up and actually buck the enshitification trend, I can’t out any faith that any of them will. Firefox is just the lastest to fall in line.
