Thanks, David, and I couldn't have put it better than you did.
I use, what people call AI (I call it software), very often. It has
helped me immensely to understand things that I had absolutely not the
slightest clue about. This software - the one I use at least - is an
excellent starting point that helps me go further and dig more into
things I want to understand. And yes, the software might have flaws,
as probably every tool man built, and sometimes its answers might be
outright wrong. Privacy issues, as always on the Internets, might be
an issue, too. It's the users' job to be aware of that, and consider
necessary consequences.
Thanks again David!

Addendum:
A small example for possible "AI" niceties:
I had doubts that part of what I wrote above is the English I like, so
I offered it duck.ai for suggestions. Its correction (I didn't correct
my lousy version above except a few minor things). The duck ai version:
"And yes, this software might have flaws, as probably every tool made
by man does."
I like the duck version more than mine.

Hello,
This new 144 Firefox release has AI in it. I've seen the
weaponization of the internet by big tech last few years and this AI
stuff is getting out of hand.
There's a lot of drama floating around with regard to AI.
It's just a tool, like a hammer.
You can build a house with it, or do serious damage to somebody's skull.
It's not the tool, it's the personality who picks it up who determines
usage.
It's not going to endanger employment, either, which is another catch
phrase.
That's been trumpeted since the industrial revolution, with regard to
machines replacing people, yet we have less leisure time than ever
before.
What Browsers on OpenBSD have pledge and Unveil support? I already
am taking steps to limit my exposure to Google. What other options
are there?
I use duckduckgo: that answers the call.
Falkon, Seamonkey? Are they pledge unveil enabled?
I've used Falkon, but it's not a mature project yet, in my estimation.
If you have coding skills, you might like to give Librewolf a go.
I have it working on Debian but, as far as I'm aware. they don't have
a BSD version in the works, yet.
Cheers!
