Speak for yourself, I would love ai in Firefox. I want it to scrape receipts I get in emails and use them to fill out insurance reimbursement forms. They're so tedious.
I'm sure it would be possible to write a software that does that, without ai - and it would probably do it better/more reliably, too.
I've lately found that Copilot is really good at banging out simple Tampermonkey scripts.
Maybe but not flexibly. The big benefit of ai is that you can throw new information and situations at it and it can adapt and reason. I don't want to wait for the template programmers to add a scraper for my specific doctor's office.
