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!

What the **bleep**? Don't do this. Seriously. Firefox is one of the last respectable browsers, don't trash it. Becoming a laughing stock and throwing your reputation in the trash isn't worth whatever you guys are getting out of this.

Firefox integrating AI, which is not only guaranteed to be trained on unethical sources, and likely to compromise what little privacy we have these days, but will also consume more power and water than a small town, is so incredibly unethical and against what Firefox claims to be, that I will be looking for alternative browsers.

I have zero interest in using AI, and I want nothing to do with it. I'm downright concerned that you, of all people, are willing to consider it.

[Blobbi_The_Fish]

Words cannot express how genuinely uninterested the average browser user is in AI at best. Using generative AI is against everything Firefox is supposed to stand for in terms of privacy and unobtrusive browsing- One of the main reasons I use Firefox is because it is one of the only browsers left without this garbage. Please reconsider adding this pointless feature that scrapes data and regurgitates the scraps back at you.

[Quickbeam27]

Please no AI please

[Mars0]

No, please do not add this ai to firefox

[Kay-Kim]

if this is done, firefox will be no better than google. don't you **bleep**ing dare. also what's the point when your users will make an extension to delete it ten minutes after launch. don't. even. **bleep**ing. think. about. it. DON'T.

AI Integration in other products has been a disaster, especially for search engines - AI engines hallucinate information and are designed to prevent users from visiting sites with further information. I am strongly against the use of neural network integration as a part of any search engines, as it goes against the core concept of using a search engine (as in, using it as a directory for other websites). Please do not integrate generative AI/Neural networking into Mozilla. You will lose the swathe of customers who are using your engine specifically because it doesn't have any AI/Neural networking features.

[FillerName]

This!! "AI" features are a race to the bottom for peoples' minds. Things being quicker is not worth anything if the quick results are inaccurate or spreading misinformation.

[Voideful]

Please don't.

[ducklin]

no thank you.

[brainwrms]

no, please god no, ill switch browsers if i ever have to deal with another stupid piece of ai bull**bleep** im so serious

[TollingBells77]

Please don't implement this, it's not worth the resources it uses or the time you'd have to dedicate to it.

[Linatic]

No thank you! The reason I use Firefox is to avoid the ai 😄

[ESCorble]

No.

AI is a scourge, both to human intellect and to the environment. Don't lower yourself by forcing it on others- WE DO NOT WANT AI.

[ratkingsocks]

I've been using firefox for a long time now, basically since high school (I'm now a college graduate). Top of my to-do list when setting up any device is installing firefox and getting it all setup instead of whatever web browser comes default with the device. I can safely say that if AI is implemented into the browser I will be uninstalling firefox from all of my devices and simply... finding something else.

Please do not do this

[Liz]

Hell no. generative AI is expensive, terrible for the environment, and doesn't even work well and mainly produces garbage and i cannot believe you are even trying to add it.  Stop while you still can before you piss off your userbase.

[Kiki_Coconut]

Absolutely No Thank You

[Kiki_Coconut]

No. It's a terrible idea, and FireFox not implementing it like other browsers is the reason why I still use it.

[conqueror_worms]

Absolutely do NOT add an AI feature. God. Do you want to stay the better browser in a world of lacking security? Don't integrate a useless feature that'll be out of sight out of mind in another 5 years. Firefox is fine as it is.

[RB2C]

Do not waste time or money on this. You will not be able to meaningfully stand out or compete at scale with your current funding compared to similar products. You can't afford to join them, so go back to beating them and leave your sub-para data-grab off this service.

[kasarian]

Hi! Loyal Firefox User Here. I will actually just as easily drop this goddamn browser as fast and desecrate its name as soon as any AI bull**bleep** is integrated officially. I can and I will. Most of us will. If the higher ups don't listen to the users, it will become reality. 🙂

[Glottal]

Please don't.

[ferretdog]

Please don't do this. I literally only use Firefox because it doesn't integrate AI. If you guys are doing this I might as well just switch to Opera or literally any other browser that uses AI

[malamutesandowl]

ABSOLUTELY NOT. i use firefox because you do things much better than any other browser, respect our privacy, and actively work against the idiocy big tech companies are doing nowadays. do not add ai to this perfectly fine browser. if this becomes permanent i will switch instantly.

[astralnautical]

ABSOLUTELY NOT. i will switch browsers if ai is implemented.

[kalternet]

no thanks, ai is hot garbage.

[aureus2010]

OH GOD NO

[kuromiy2k]

No <-Bold for intensity, one of the big things that brought me back to Firefox was the freedom away from AI and Crypto, if either of those ever get forced into my experience I would have to just uninstall and find a different browser

[starpupash]

dear god no

[hulludragon]

For the love of god DO NOT! Ai is making everything worse by the second. The browser is just fine without it and it will not add anything good to the site. so simply just drop it and move on.

[Peterpants]

I have used Firefox for over a decade. If this feature becomes a permanent addition I will be uninstalling Firefox from all my devices and start recommending all my contacts to do the same

[Hater2000000000]

Same!

[rckroeze]

Please no. Anything but this. 

[cambrianx]

Please please do not do this. I am so sick of AI invading every aspect of my daily life. AI steals content without consent and uses a crazy amount of resources to produce subpar results. I thought Firefox was better than this. I'm shocked it's even being considered. This would definitely negatively effect my opinions of this product, which is a shame considering the amazing work you do. Please keep AI out of Firefox

[Hater2000000000]

AI is a stupid overhyped feature that is useless & doesn’t work at best and at worst spreads dangerous and potentially harmful information

dont do this. No one wants it. except maybe weird tech bros who don’t understand that chat bots are not a crazy new concept, and the only reason they’re this into it is cause of $$$$$

Every company thinks they need some AI feature to produce as much money as possible and it is clear to consumers that’s what it’s for and nothing else. It adds nothing positive to the experience, just another thing to scroll past.

Please just keep your browser the way it is. We don’t want constant updates, besides for security, we want the thing we signed up for originally. If you add too much stuff then it’s no longer what we started using it for and usually just makes it worse.

When will tech developers realize this? We don’t want perpetual changes. We don’t yall to perpetually add more and more features. We just want the thing we signed up to get. Just make it good the first time and maintenance it when needed. Web 3.0 sucks. We’ll never get the beautiful HTMLscape of the 90’s and early 2000’s back and everyone except advertisers suffer every day for it. Please for the love of God just stop adding unnecessary features. 

I stopped using Google for the AI stuff and I guess I will have to stop using Firefox too cause I don’t support software that’s made with straight up plagiarism. Find me an generational artificial intelligence program that did not scrape and plagiarize peoples work and doesn’t waste electricity, water, and drive up the prices of every piece of hardware it requires to run it and MAYBE, maybe it would be JUST ok at best, cause like at the end of the day code doesn’t know how to “fact check” information and we are already seeing crazy fake stuff all over the web because of it being “quick cash.” Saving 30 seconds reading generated summary instead of the actual results I asked for is simply not worth just not at all being sure if the generation is accurate and having to check the results anyway, and knowing the software was made by dumping tons and tons of pre-existing written works into a database (AKA plagiarism).

[Hater2000000000]

everytime an AI feature is added an angel gets hit by a car 

[joedonfred]

DON'T RUIN YOURSELVES LIKE THIS!

[Ev]

No no no nope no thanks no ai

[drysneeze]

who even wants this

[Semyas]

Nope.
