Yeah. This is literally how LLM models should be used. Non intrusive and just a helpful way to find shit quickly related to settings or such.
My AI hate is entirely based on its exploitation of labor. Using art or otherwise to create garbage that is not paying the people who’s art or work was used to create it.
An open source project using a model trained to help users with Firefox settings. What labor is being exploited here? None from my understanding.
It’s just a helpful tool. Please, please. Understanding WHY you hate AI. Don’t be upset about the invention of the Loom. Be upset that the benefits of the invention are going to the rich capitalist. The invention of the Loom/AI should make your life and your labor easier. You should get the same benefits while doing less work. THAT is the problem. You should hate AI because you hate capitalist modes of production.
Edit: I’m making an assumption about this feature. I would assume it’s a very efficient CPU capable model to help answer Firefox questions. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s the only reasonable thing I could guess this feature would even be. Haven’t looked into it though.
Assuming you meant harm. My assumption is that this is a locally CPU run model that is basically a glorified AOL chatbot. Again, I’m making some assumptions here.
But I really think the “AI” in this is just using a buzzword. When technically it is but it’s likely not what we think like a heavy LLM like ChatGPT. I really doubt Firefox is sending prompts to GPU farms and it’s likely just a simple model that runs on your local CPU. Likely optimized to answer browser related prompts or Firefox related prompts in general. I could be wrong. But I’d be surprised if it was at all outsourcing prompts to a GPU farm.
It’s a good example (if my assumptions are correct and Firefox is not braindead plugging in ChatGPT into the browser) actually of how AI application specific models can be very efficient and helpful. All the money we push into the “god AI” is really what people think of with “fuck AI”. China is working heavily in models like this.
For example. They just released a new application specific model that is extremely efficient at character recognition in images. Basically, if you took a picture of a page in a book it converts it to text that can be edited on a computer. It’s a case of an AI model actually improving compute efficiency when compared to other previous “non-ai” methods of computer vision.
But I digress. I think most of “fuck AI” could be summarized as “fuck capitalism” though. American investors are chasing a “worker replacement” model that they are failing at obtaining.
Completely get your view there, like whenever I’m talking to people about tech (especially when I’m having other scientists explain their research) I always avoid using the word AI and when they use it I always tell them to clarify.
I have no idea what they are using for their own summarization features, but I know the chatbot tool is just a front-end to interface with other services, not its own LLM.
Also which model are you talking about for image to text, sounds like a potential improvement on earlier work I’d like to see
I do agree as well most “fuck AI” is fuck capitalism if only indirectly by some. Its why I care about the environmental harm a lot as it wouldn’t exist if not for the capitalistic drive to build at all cost. LLMs aren’t worth people’s lives or dead ecosystems, they aren’t even the tech that will achieve AGI as they don’t do continuous learning (evident from the seed change between shit GPT3 to human like ChatGPT was an RL training protocol). Most modern technology has the curse of its owners which prevents it from being used ethically or for the common good.
This. It’s not like it’s running LLM queries behind your back. It’s not even a popup. Just an option in the menu that will do nothing as long as you don’t click on it.
I’m fine with this. It’s not only optional. Is where I’d never even ick it by accident

Don’t forgot environmental hard

I did mean harm yeah
