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!

I think it's really cool that AI is being integrated into browsers! I understand that some people might be a bit wary, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to. I don't get all the negative feedback.

Personally, I use it a lot, especially for translating. It's definitely more convenient than DeepL or Google Translate.

Of course, the integration isn't perfect. I added the shortcut "Show side panels" to my favorites bar, but it takes me straight to my bookmarks.

It would be awesome to be able to use language models (LLMs) directly on your computer, especially since there are so many free ones available. It would allow for even more customization.

Hey Mozilla, don't do this.

Generative AI is not just a sociocultural problem, but an economical and ecological problem. It drains lakes of water to cool the servers used for these programs, and emits more CO2 than even a Captain Planet villain would. NO to generative AI.

Upscaling tools, screen-readers, and accessibility and QOL features are more along the lines of what I'll accept when it comes to AI, but not scrapers and thieves, nor the patently wrong information AI search results have given us. Be smart about this, guys.
