Firefox is already using AI (fully local) for their new translation feature.

  A) I don't think that's the type of feature to which they are referring to, B) I wouldn't call that "AI" by the current sense of the word when it can be narrowly described with "automated translation", and C) we've had high-quality translation for well over a decade now with or without Firefox.

    Firefox's translation is based on LLMs not far off from the AI chatbots in the core tech. It's also nicely local to your machine.

      I wasn't aware of that, thats actually pretty cool! Gotta one of the first legitimate uses for AI outside of generating semi-passable scripts and email templates.

      That's all very nice, but it doesn't change anything i said.
