> there's no doubt that 10 years from now LLMs will play a role in nearly every interaction we have with a computer

I tend to agree with you. Doesn’t make what Mozilla is doing sensible.

In 1995, one could correctly observe that the internet would “play a role in nearly every interaction we have with a computer.” It would not follow that every app must reïnvent the network stack.

An AI helping out can be useful. Every app being a tiny AI is a cacophony of idiots.



If they were training their own foundational model your analogy would be on the mark. But this is more like porting a command line application to a GUI.

CLIs preceded GUIs. This would be like a CLI jamming mini GUIs into its flow because that’s the next thing.


Isn’t that called a TUI?


That’s a good analogy. My response would be how many of those products stuck around as TUIs versus CLIs or GUIs?
