I'm a dev and I was browsing Mozilla's careers page and came across this. I find a privacy respecting company being interested in building an AI powered recommendation engine a little odd. Wouldn't they need to sift through the very data we want private in order for a recommendation engine to be good? Curious of what others think.

Ironically, this comment reads just like an AI wrote it.

The irony of AI-generated responses being difficult to distinguish from the rules educators harassed me to comply with is something I've found pretty amusing lately. It's a bias built into the system, but has the opposite unintended effect of delegitimising actual human opinions. What an own-goal for civilisation.

I am regrettably all too human. I have even been issued hardware keys to prove it!
