Just want to raise up the design of this “AI kill switch” in Firefox, and say how much I like it: it’s a top-level preference, and the design and content are both *very* clear in communicating the different levels at which you’re making decisions.
I would *love* to see more product companies roll out something like this for their en-LLM’d features.
In before the replies to say: 1. yes, I wish it was opt-in; 2. yes, I’d much rather something like this didn’t need to be designed in the first place Given all that, and until that happy day that “AI” platforms are rendered down into their component pieces and sold for scrap, I think this is a really, really good piece of design.
@beep yeah, I read that before I commented, and it reads like you think that makes the current situation ok (just not ideal), but it doesn’t come close.
(I’d dig up my old post about their undermining trust, but this app doesn’t let me search while composing)
