Goddamn Mozilla, we don't want this shit.

Speak for yourself. I do.

I recognize the niche areas in which AI is great, like upscaling. And I appreciate their goal to identify the good and bad of the industry. That said I don't want it baked into Firefox, which is where this is headed.

People aren't aware that you can run models locally without all the creepy spying that comes with the "services" that big companies push.

Yeah, offline translation is great, and my eyesight is definitely on its way out. If I could have a locally-run AI in Firefox that I can use to get a description of images, that would be amazing

People see the sleazy shit that MS, Google, and "Open"AI are doing with AI and jump to the conclusion that it's evil and useless and we shouldn't have it at all for any use-case.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's open source, the training data was obtained ethically, and it doesn't hoover up my data, AI is a tool we should use.

Why not? What downsides are there to that?
