Mozilla Adding New 'AI Window' Feature to Its Firefox

Neither this nor the blog post explains what this feature is actually supposed to do?
codedokode•2mo ago
I don't understand what they want to do, but I hope it won't be stupid, useless AI chat that sends all user data to OpenAI without disclosing it to the user. Nobody needs to talk to a computer program, and "AI chats" are the worst usage of otherwise important technology.

A good use of AI would be, for example:

- high-quality translation of a foreign text when you point a camera at it. Could be useful for travelers

- recognizing and reading aloud the text from camera image for people who have bad eyesight

- recognizing speech for people who have hearing loss

- image search, for example determining types of plants and insects and dog breeds

- checking grammar and style in text input boxes

reaslonik•2mo ago
At least with their previous features it's been possible to set the address to any custom services you may have running, remote or local. For example Against all expectations I had I've actually found the highlight -> explain tool to be useful when sent to my local vLLM instance with a template I like.

Why not google/ddg/bing etc. them? That's on the context menu too, but LLMs seem uniquely suited at some problems like acronyms that are shared across many fields but different meanings, highlighting a sentence turns out the right acronyms very fast where search engines would take several attempts and is what I used to do previously.

codedokode•2mo ago
LLMs can make things up though.
reaslonik•2mo ago
Of course, it's generally useful for things you can verify, which for acronyms is easy as long as you find the words

So, basically:

Firefox users: "Stop cramming AI into my browser!"

Mozilla: "How 'bout I do, anyway?"

reaslonik•2mo ago
From the blog page at https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/ai-window/

it looks like it's an explicit option to open a window with AI features and without, so you get a choice to enable the features if you want them
