It's so depressing how orgs like #Mozilla squander volunteer goodwill for nothing. They'll never recover from this self-inflicted damage:

«Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets»

Does anyone remember the Reinhart-Rogoff affair? The paper that was widely used to justify austerity policies, but where the main result was only an artifact due to the researchers screwing up their Excel formulas?

So yeah, can't see how putting the random number generator called "AI" in Excel will cause any harm!
