Share your feedback on the AI services experiment in Nightly

Hi folks, 

In the next few days, we will start the Nightly experiment which provides easy access to AI services from the sidebar. This functionality is entirely optional, and it’s there to see if it’s a helpful addition to Firefox. It is not built into any core functionality and needs to be turned on by you to see it. 

If you want to try the experiment, activate it via Nightly Settings > Firefox Labs (please see full instructions here). 

We’d love to hear your feedback once you try out the feature, and we’re open to all your ideas and thoughts, whether it’s small tweaks to the current experience or big, creative suggestions that could boost your productivity and make accessing your favorite tools and services in Firefox even easier.

Thanks so much for helping us improve Firefox!

There is no use case for "AI" in a browser.

The sole function of a browser is to accurately and efficiently render a website and execute the services it provides. Nothing more.

Resources expended on injecting unwanted, unnecessary, and diversionary "AI" are wasted, and ought to be better spent improving...rendering accuracy and execution efficiency.

Please don't put AI in Firefox! If you absolutely have to, make a plugin.

I have made an account simply to say this: Don't do this. This is a complete waste of time and planet-scale environmental resources.

As a proponent of Firefox versus other browsers who have doubled down on this nonsense, I don’t want to see any engineering effort, time, or resources being used to add “AI” features. Quite apart from the environmental cost of needless extra computing. I would love to see Firefox take a principled “No AI” stand as a point of difference, and do it soon before the bubble collapses.

No, thank you, to A.I. in any context.

No. No AI services in Firefox. If they show up in my Firefox, ever, for any reason, I'm switching to Vivaldi from that moment on and never. looking. back.

I started using Firefox because it seemed so user-focused in a good way: preserving users’ privacy and browsing experience in a way other popular browsers do not. I DO NOT support the addition of generative AI and may honestly consider changing my browser if such “tools” are implemented.

Please don’t. Take a hint from Procreate, they didn’t implement AI and their user base absolutely loved that.

As an artist this AI boom is taking an *extreme* toll on my mental health and the same is true for many other people. This isn’t helpful, it’s annoying at best and life ruining at worst. No one really wants this, it’s not useful unless you are scamming people, and it’s bad for the environment (an understatement). We are begging you not to implement this.

Do NOT mess up Firefox with this LLM nonsense. It is a privacy and copyright nightmare. You're better than this.

Why does Mozilla continue to ignore their users and implement **bleep** like this? Stop it.

GhostlyBites

Absolutely not. Firefox is in a good spot because of Google's BS and we don't want that squandered by an intrusive Plagiarism Machine. Knock it off.

Kierthos

Hell no.

No one actually wants this.

AI isn't actually AI, it isn't even close to AI, and it's goddamned useless. Rest assured that if there is a way to turn it off, I will, but it's better for everyone if you never turn it on in the first place.

I'll make it simple.  The moment I see that in my Firefox browser, I'm deleting it forever.  We do NOT want AI "embedded" in our apps.  We don't want the feature installed by default.  And we most certainly do NOT approve of our lives being captured for your spicy lying machine.

If AI is added to Firefox, I will stop using Firefox.

Please do not contribute to the normalizing of AI "services". These things are unreliable, even dangerous. The companies behind it are deeply unserious and irresponsible. There is every indication that "AI services" is the latest scam-ecology-disguised-as-technology, similar to NFTs and cryptocurrency.

How about going back to basics and giving us a more robust browser experience?

Hello, the use of the AI tech in Firefox is something I am strongly against. Generative AI whether it be for writing or art is largely made off of stolen work & is used far too often to try to replace humans & undercut their livelihoods. I am strongly against Mozilla implementing AI as part of their platform, & a continued effort to do so will result in me looking to other companies for my browser & email services.

I neither want nor need plagiarism machine 4.0 integrated into my web browser.

I have zero interest in generative “AI” - which is to say, mostly plagiarism and dumbing down - in my browser. This should be removed from the main browser code.

If you want to improve Firefox don't add this feature.

This feature is not needed and is a waste of resources that could have been used else where. LLM are not smart nor useful. focus in privacy features, not things in themselves are a horrible invasion of privacy.

Please don't clog Firefox up with AI garbage. So many companies are doing this and it adds zero utility and negative appeal to the experience.

No no no no no a million times no.

Sick to death of the tech industry insisting on shoving this crap into everything, and being SHOCKED when it turns out to be awful.

Hi. I hate this! AI has been proven to have massive negative environmental impact, and including it in Firefox only contributes to that problem. AI as a whole currently has huge moral, legal, and logistical issues that make no sense to introduce into an otherwise stable, trustworthy browser. 

I use Firefox to get away from things like this. Claiming to fight for a "healthier internet" and then integrating things that actively make the internet (and the planet!) is extremely disappointing to me as a long-time user.

NO thanks

we don´t need AI

we just need a good browser that doesn't add " allow websites to perform privacy-preserving ad measurement"by default without even letting us know....

after 20 years of loyalty (or even more considering I was always a Netscape fan)

You broke it... 😞

LLMs are unethical in every way (stealing work from writers, journalists, artists; requires lots of data resources contributing to climate change) and don't even do anything useful.

No AI. No LLMs.

This seems like it goes counter to what Mozilla should stand for and I personally do not want anything to do with this. I would also support a fork that removes these features and commits to never adding them.
