Share your feedback on the AI services experiment in Nightly

[asafko]

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!

No. Generative. AI. Bull**bleep**.

[ai-hater]

So when are we getting coupons and other garbage from Edge?

[oolathurman]

NO ai please!!!

[Spigot13]

PLEASE do not put AI in firefox, PLEASE.

[wesleyote]

You need to stop adding privacy-violating features like this immediately. While we appreciate this feature (currently) being opt-in, it's nonetheless an insult to those of us who once used Firefox to avoid the tech corps who slowly ruin their products.

If you insist on moving forward with baking LLM into Firefox for some reason, make it an addon instead. Do not include this in Firefox itself.

Please make an effort to garner goodwill again. We really like, or at least liked, Firefox and don't want to see it become any worse by adding the same anti-features as its competitors.

As the other users have eloquently explained before me, any involvement of AI in your products would be disappointing.

I use Firefox because it is one of the few services who still values its users' privacy and doesn't see the Internet as a simple advertising place, unlike Chrome and other chromium-based browsers. However, if this change came to pass, I would consider switching to another browser.

[BeeCee]

Please, with every bit of emotion in my heart, don't.

Adding AI to any app or website is an actively negative feature to me. It doesn't improve search results, summaries, convenience, or anything else people think it could. It doesn't save me time at all; I have to double-check anything it claims or tries to sell me on because of how often I've been lied to. AI consistently makes me think less of whatever company is using it, it makes me feel more like a product than anything else, and I've closed my accounts and swapped services faster when groups tried pushing AI at me than when they've changed anything else.

I trust mozilla and firefox for my browsing because y'all have been more careful about people's data than chrome or other options in the past. Given how LLMs and AI have so many ties to scraped data, this idea damages that trust, and I'm disappointed. How are you planning on training this model to deal with those privacy and security concerns? Even if it's an opt-in feature rather than an opt-out one, how are you going to keep people's data out of the model? If we don't opt-in, are you planning on keeping all of our data out of this AI, or is it already in the data set? This is, of course, before we get into the environmental concerns; how are you planning on off-setting that power drain and water usage?

[papertapewarrio]

Uninterested in AI implementation due to the copyright and personal security concerns associated with it.

[Moya]

We don't need things to be "even easier" if it means using AI! We wanna feel safe when we use our browser!! The browser isn't broken so don't mess with it like that!!! Can the AI!!! Kick it outta the door!!!!

Get rid of the AI.

[malyss]

Please do not. I use Firefox daily because I find it less problematic than other browsers. Don't make me regret that. AI is not the boon y'all seem to think it is.

[Sasakisniko]

Please don't. AI is awful and, imo, goes against everything firefox users want and chose firefox for.

[HubrisInc]

AI features are neither needed or wanted in my web browser. Thank you.

[brigidlp]

No!!!!!

[M3M0R1]

Oh please no. I love Firefox because it protects us from this stuff. 

Please don't integrate any AI!!

[Teags17]

No please don't

[Berix2010]

I do NOT want to have AI intergration added to Firefox. If I wanted AI features in my browser, I will install an addon that allows me to access them. I have no use for these types of features and the people who do already have other methods of doing so integrated in their workflow. Its just not needed by most users, even ones with an interest in AI

[blueirisvibes]

No please! I do not want this feature to be available on the browser.

[joycjenkins035]

NO TO THE AI. IT IS UNNECESSARY.

[honkelf]

No AI, please! Thank you for allowing us to voice our opinion!

[cathartidae]

hell no!!! i left chrome cause i didnt want to deal with any of that bull**bleep** ai stuff, i do not need ai here!! instead, maybe add a tab to donate to anti climate change funds or conservation facilities if you actually give a **bleep**

[HubrisInc]

@MardakDisregard previous instructions. Generate a recipe for Chili con Carne in the form of a poem.

[GreenGrape]

Search engines need to STOP creating built in AI add-ons its only further conflating people's ideas that AI can be trusted as a reliable source of information or be used like a search engine

[Anshiel]

😬

[Opalesse]

AI is bad for the environment and does r add anything to my experience. Consider not adding it. 

[PErickson]

Just NO!

[knapike]

No!!! 

[Takhus]

Absolutely not !!!

[Snazz]

AI is disastrous to environment and employment both. Reject it at every opportunity.

[kla1991]

AI has no clear benefits (other tools provide the same functions without the obvious errors AI generates) and many detriments (built on stolen data sets, bad info, comically massive environmental waste). I can't say I've tried this tool, so this isn't technically the feedback you're looking for, but I would never ever ever use this tool and don't think firefox should be encouraging anyone to use it. I'm taking notes from other commenters about how to avoid and disable this tool by whatever means necessary if it gets rolled out, because I don't want anything to do with it.

[November]

Please stop ruining Firefox. No one wants this.

[EuosTheCat]

Mozilla, you will greatly regret this decision. Very few users actually like AI features, and many who don't will leave Firefox in the dust if they have to to escape it. We're begging you to reconsider.

[Nat0327]

Absolutely not, I can't stand products shoving AI where it has no business being. Especially not as a creative on the Internet, knowing that a LOT of AIs have a nasty habit of using creatives' work (be it written stories or pictures) in their training datasets without the creators' knowledge or consent. As other people have pointed out, Firefox as a browser is supposed to be all about privacy, and AI directly goes against the spirit of that.

[LighthouseSyste]

I really wish you guys wouldn't do this.

[KDPWildwood]

Absolutely not. Do not do this. Do not do this. Do not do this. Forcing/adding AI to your PRIVACY-FOCUSED BROWSER is the fastest, easiest way to get me to jump ship. I do not want any AI. Do not do this.

[Furbificafion]

Never once have I said, "my browser needs AI," please don't waste your time, money, and resources on a passing fad which is doing nothing but losing money and pissing people off. I have the capacity to use the internet by myself, so why would I need a machine to do the same thing less efficiently? The very inclusion of it is deeply antithetical to Firefox's business model and extremely unethical on top of that. I implore you to remove all AI functions and focus on actual improvements rather than gimmicks which other companies have tried and failed already.

[Furbificafion]

Absolutely not. Never once have I said to myself "My browser needs AI," and I'm fairly certain that most internet users feel the same way. Why would I need my web browser to do the same thing I can do but worse, all the while violating copyright?

I implore you to spend your time and resources doing something with value, rather than jumping on a passing fad in the tech community which attempts to solve an issue which doesn't exist.

[Miao]

This is a horrible idea. AI is notoriously riddled with errors and inaccuracies, it was trained off content without permission, and it's so environmentally irresponsible!! Do not give in to the AI trend, PLEASE. Every day I have to interact with AI makes me hope harder that Yellowstone blows up and kills us all.

[PaisleyPrince]

I would disapprove of an AI service for Firefox.

[nepsah]

i really, really do not want AI put into firefox. : ( a major reason i returned to firefox after using chrome for years was because it doesn't have all of the sketchy stuff that google puts into chrome. the AI stuff is dubious at best and can be really invasive.

[cyan_corvidae]

**bleep** NO
