smart tab groups, a new AI-powered feature that suggests names and groups based on the tabs you have open.

Yeah sure ok. Did the community ask for this too?

For one second I thought Mozilla might have made something that wasn't anti-feature... But OF COURSE it's going to need to have AI ๐Ÿ˜‘

I don't care about AI when it's doing minor things like this it's when they're shoving it down our throats and we don't want it.

[-] Dettweiler42@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

AI as a tool? Hell yeah.
AI to replace people? Fuck no.

I mean, why not?

They integrated accessibility focused, local, AI pretty well.

Loads of folks bitched about it because they were triggered by "AI", but it's essentially invisible, as it should be.

I hate naming things, that's actually something AI is good at, hell yeah, let it name my shit for me please.

Then again, these communities are always full of Debby downers who hate on everything.

[Dr. Who meme format]

Is AI bad?

It Depends. Large corporate AI hosted at a data centre that consumes a nuclear reactor's worth of power and a lake's worth of water for cooling for the purpose of generating slop stolen from Artists and Writers? Yes.

Locally run embedded AI designed for a specific task to automate small processes or enhance the UI experience with little cost to local computing resources because it's been properly optimised? No.

a datacenter is more efficient than lots of smaller individual computers doing calculations independently. They actually make their stuff as efficient as possible, otherwise it hurts margins. So, if you're against datacenter AI because of power, then just stop using ai. If everyone ran locally, the efficiency would be significantly worse overall.

I actually hate what llms have become, but efficiency is still not a good way to compare a datacenter to a home computer.

A consumer would use a lower token AI compared to large datacenters. I am sure it does less environmental damage, because the home user doesnt need tap water for cooling.

Yeah for now I remain cautiously optimistic. I have not used their ai stuff once but it was also never shoved down my throat and my browsing experience has not been affected at all, and them finally listening to the community and implementing tabs grouping is just great. If they keep it that way I think we'll be fine
