I’m not “pushing for” anything except more control to the user. Where’s the contradiction? I was skeptical about AI chatbots (stochastic parrots etc) but it’s got to the point where the utility is impossible to deny. A one-stop-shop answer to any question, which is probably right and shows its sources, that’s a pretty amazing innovation. Huntnig for information is a lot of my web usage, so I absolutely see the point of putting that prompt alongside the one for URLs and search terms and even for merging it all one day (the first two were once separate prompts too, let’s remember). This is clearly the direction of the web whether we like it or not, and with more voice interface since young people hardly know how to write any more. The role of Mozilla IMO is not to stop this new world singlehandedly, it’s to give us more control over it.
