TL;DR: Mozilla’s translation bot on Support Mozilla (that is currently overwriting user contributions is based on the closed source, copyright infringing LLM, Google Gemini. This is in spite of Mozilla claiming that they are at the forefront of open source AI, and belies their exhortations to choose to build open source AI and data sets. Although Mozilla has experience in attracting open contributions for data sets in projects like Common Voice, Mozilla is using a closed data set to overwrite open contributions. Since (paid) Gemini queries do not train the model, Mozillians can expect to correct errors every time the bot automatically updates an article.

    This is wrong. There wouldn’t be as many open source license if it was as clear cut.

      There are many open source licenses. Being closed source isn’t one of them.

            From that organization. While having a definition against corporate is important, gatekeeping open source is an oxymoron.

            edit: and i said interpretations, not definitions. One definition doesn’t exclude many interpretations. See the bible for a example.
