Interesting post, but I am surprised the author does not directly address Mozilla's own recent controversy regarding AI authorship of commits to the Firefox repo (https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/71cc24b6a400dbd434e4df37087960d94b764791 https://github.com/mozilla-firefox/firefox/commit/71cc24b6a4...).
- hawernawer 7mo agoThat's a fair question. Mozilla is a large organization and I don't work on Firefox itself, so the blog post wasn't meant as commentary on that specific change. That said, the Firefox policy actually reflects something similar to what I'm describing in the post: even if AI tools are used to generate code, a human must ultimately take responsibility for what gets merged. AI can't own a change or be accountable for it.
