If they just use 3rd party APIs/models, and AI bubble pops, the amount of users of AI in FF will not change.

The upstream might earn less, and some upstreams might fail, but once they have code switching to competition or local isn't a big deal.

That being said

"This could've been a plugin" - actual AI vendors can absolutely just outcompete FF, nobody gonna change to FF to have slightly better AI integration - and if Google decides to do same they will eat Mozilla lunch yet again
