    Firefox’s AI will be run entirely locally, information you feed it will be completely optional, and allegedly uses ethical training data where nothing was stolen. It’s private.

    It will be used for things like offline translation, finding alternative sources for articles, spotting fake reviews, in the future better text to speech and image recognition for accessibility purposes, etc.

    I think you’re having a kneejerk reaction of “All AI is bad, we must reject technology and embrace tradition”, which isn’t the right response to have. There are valid usecases, IMO, particularly for people with usability requirements.

    Besides, the usual people who complain about Mozilla will complain if Firefox implements AI features, and they’ll also complain if they don’t, saying they’re falling further behind. Mozilla can’t win with you people.
