I wouldn't dismiss this just yet. Mozilla has already been doing some open source AI work, specifically their speech offerings. If they invest in these and they get better I think we all stand to gain from having good text to speech and speech recognition available outside of Apple/Amazon/Microsoft/Google

Also my understanding is they’d use AI for local language translation so it doesn’t have to connect to some external server to do it.

Just cause for-profit organizations are heavily pushing AI doesn’t mean there aren’t unskeezy uses for it…
