I'll elaborate. I believe we're in an AI bubble. AI companies are pushing the overton window on AI discourse. They want the most extreme anti-AI sentiment to be "Sure, it's an overhyped technology right now but there will be reasonable applications down the road". I want to see pushback on this. It doesn't matter if I can disable some AI feature in the settings. The fact that Mozilla is jumping on this bandwagon is deeply disappointing to me.

I agree with Eugen. No, AI cannot be used wisely and cannot be useful in "some situation".

If you think that you can solve your problem with a tool which produces statistical random non-sense, you are not understanding your problem in the first place.

AI is not a tool. It is just a game. You may have lot of fun with it but it cannot "do" anything else (besides convincing you of the opposite because it is particularly good at arguing with incompetent people)
