AI also doesn't mean that it has to send data to a backend. Your basis for accusing Mozilla of doing something questionable is that they put technologies to use which happen to also be used by data-harvesting companies. This is like saying they're evil, because they use programming languages or databases. It entirely depends on how these technologies are used.

It would be like saying they want to harvest data because they switched the code base to Chromium, not programming languages in general.

Ok, I disagree.
