Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I want it, so "nobody wants it" is wrong.
If you're wondering why it seems like nobody wants it, just watch the downvote counter on this comment.
It's a tool, and I'm glad that you have the opportunity to use it whenever you need. However, I'm not planning to use it, just like I'm not planning on using a bench saw. I don't mind people using a bench saw, but it would be nice if tech companies would stop throwing benches saws at my face everytime I go outside.
The issue is more of how much LLM are marketed as the saviour of the world, while only a fraction of their users are actually going to use it.
The important thing is that we communicate our strategy around bench saw adoption.
We're hiring a bench saw adoption consultant and we want you to meet with them this afternoon.
He said some great things about bench saws when we invited him to speak about accounting.
May I ask what about it you like and enjoy? It would be nice hearing someone who considers it advantageous.
I haven't had the chance to test out this specific feature yet so I can't speak to it specifically, but I've found it extremely handy being able to "interrogate" the contents of a web page using an LLM to specifically summarize whatever particular details I'm after from it. I still miss Firefox's "Orbit" extension for how it could summarize the content of Youtube videos, that was great for situations where someone would link an hour-long video to back up some argument they were making. Or just generally deciding whether it was worth watching an hour-long video, or skipping to whatever the basic point of the video was without all the irrelevant cruft.
In another thread on this subject I mentioned how I've lately found that Copilot is quite handy at creating quick Tampermonkey scripts to do tasks on specific web pages. It'd be nice if that was integrated directly into the browser, so that I could ask it for a script to do a task and it would have access to the page's source as context while creating it.
Current AI features are fairly simple, but I think the technology's got plenty of neat new applications coming in the near future. It frustrates me how many people want those applications to be limited to corporate-controlled browsers like Edge or Chrome.
