Neither this nor the blog post explains what this feature is actually supposed to do?
I don't understand what they want to do, but I hope it won't be stupid, useless AI chat that sends all user data to OpenAI without disclosing it to the user. Nobody needs to talk to a computer program, and "AI chats" are the worst usage of otherwise important technology.

A good use of AI would be, for example:

- high-quality translation of a foreign text when you point a camera at it. Could be useful for travelers

- recognizing and reading aloud the text from camera image for people who have bad eyesight

- recognizing speech for people who have hearing loss

- image search, for example determining types of plants and insects and dog breeds

- checking grammar and style in text input boxes

So, basically:

Firefox users: "Stop cramming AI into my browser!"

Mozilla: "How 'bout I do, anyway?"
