@geekantiai the reply you linked to is screenshot below:
Part of the first quote was them saying they want AI to be disabled. So I asked them if they had turned it off in settings. This is a very clear cut question. Obviously it will continue answering if a person has it enabled.
The second part was looking at a concern they stressed and I asked for a specific example. If people can give examples of problems then it is easier to see and fix. But when they are hypothetical situations, such as theirs was, then there’s not much to be done. Of course, their reply of referring to people as “retards” wasn’t a good look either.
Anyone can throw terms around. No gaslighting was done there. As indicated, it sought to find out their situation. Was it turning itself on after they turned it off or were they leaving it on and then just coming to complain?
Then when speaking of worries it might incite violence, I asked specifically how. You would be correct in that their reply was not helpful.
So worried that people might see some information and then go do something they shouldn’t? Does that mean Brave needs to highly censor everything and can’t show data that anyone might contest? Heck, even your coming to accuse of “gaslighting” is enough to push some people to incite violence. Does that mean if I took my frustration out on someone that it would be your fault? Should we prevent you from ever speaking to anyone on the internet again?
This is indeed some feedback from people. Just keep in mind that Brave also gets feedback from people who feel the opposite. They take not only feedback from people but also the usage data collected from people who visit to make a determination of what features to add, remove, or change. Currently people who feel the same on this are in the minority. As such, at least for the time being, they just have the option for you to be able to change settings.
