Interpreting MRI scans?
Translating language?
Object detection on assembly lines?
Object detection to sort recycling?
Identifying disease markers?
Classifying data?
…etc
Things that it’s been used for for ages now.
And what, exactly, is positive about it, that has no associated negative outcomes?

I for one do know that and am not against AI religiously and have used it to great effect and STILL DON’T WANT TO DOWNLOAD IT WITH MY BROWSER. Just make it an addon.
What’s positive about Mozilla having private, offline language translation?
Gee I dunno. Maybe that you get to translate web pages without sending that data to Google?
What’s positive about Mozilla using image recognition to generate alt-text for images
Gee I dunno. Maybe blind people being able to browse the web better?

Specific to generative AI, I think client side generation can be a good thing, such as sentiment analysis or better word suggestions/autocomplete.
A number of other helpful tasks have negative outcomes, but if someone is going to use it, then I prefer they use the version of the tech that minimizes those negative outcomes. Whether Mozilla should be focussing on building that is a different matter though
