why the fuck would I need an AI in a browser? 0 fucks given for this "feature". firefox is devolving into an edge.

Nowadays we are supposed to need AI everywhere. I'm waiting for my AI bidet so that I can chat with it when I do my business.

"What is my purpose?"

"You wash my asshole when I poop"

"Oh my god"

Edge? Think Clippy.

"It looks like you are browsing porn. Can I help?"

That could be useful... Find more X person/stuff....

I think an AI that finds porn across the entire web that meets specific search criteria or is like an example would be a hit.

You already have AI in Firefox - local translations for example. Developing local AI aligns perfectly well with Mozilla's goals, but it seems people panic as soon as they see the two letters together.

Theoretically I can imagine AI in the browser to be awesome to combat AI on the web. Let the AI wars begin!
