- Mozilla addressed the controversy with the Japanese Support Mozilla community quitting over AI, calling it a 'miscommunication'.
- Mozilla confirmed that volunteers cannot disable AI translations across the knowledge-base, with American English as the canonical version.
- Locale-specific contributions will be overwritten by AI, with a delay increased from 72 hours to 7 days for human intervention.
- Mozilla referred to AI as 'MT' (Machine Translation) to avoid controversy, despite occasional slips into calling it AI.
- No plans to revert the 300 AI-generated articles; volunteers must manually clean them up if desired.
