What will browser level AI do for me as a user?

Just read this blog post Mozilla’s Next Chapter: Building the World’s Most Trusted Software Company

And I can’t image any scenario where I want AI at the browser level. If the AI is actually good and useful (still haven’t seen this anywhere), wouldn’t I want it at the OS level. Alternatively, assuming AI isn’t good at general tasks, I would want it at the service level. What will browser ai do better than those 2 options?

I get it, Mozilla is in trouble financially, so you’re just latching onto the hot fad of the day. Doesn’t fill me with any confidence as a user though.

Not sure what you mean. Is the search good and useful? Definitely yes. Is it available at the OS level? Yes (at least on Windows). Is it used on the OS level? Rather no (because OS is something that should power your PC, not act as an internet browser). Is the search at the service level? Yes. Does Firefox help with it? Yes. The same thing with AI. I don’t think it will evolve to the level where it doesn’t require a browser soon.

there are not current ai features in firefox, any possible features are purely speculative, what “seach [is] good and useful” are you talking about? How will firefox “help” with a service?

OK, this is clearly a bot and possibly an AI bot that doesn’t actually read anything.

Dear AI loving Chatbot: there is no upside to having AI as the search function. None of us need a poorly written and typically in accurate AI summary of the things that we are searching. AI ruins our brains in the environment. Stop.

I am going to close this thread as it is getting very off topic. If you have any feedback, please take to our feedback platform at https://connect.mozilla.org/
