Mozilla's AI Shake to Summarize is announcing itself via a blue dot in the menu and a pop-up when you visit articles. Neither the popup, the confirmation dialog, nor the new menu item mention AI.

is there any successful case of the "shake your device" interaction? seems like a bad ux, and i don't know of any app or operating system which uses it.
I really miss the shake for flashlight feature androids used to have. But I can't think of another iteration that makes sense.
I even liked the twist to launch the camera thing.
Are you sure it was all androids and not just Moto? I know my past two Motos + my current one have that (even on Lineage), but I haven't seen it on any other device/ROM.
And if anyone wonders why I'm not raging about those feature: They're opt-in, actually only trigger when intended (in my experience), and at least the flashlight thing is non-invasive.
I think it was probably Moto first and then came to CyanogenMod (pre-Lineage days 😛) for other devices
I'd guess at least someone at Mozilla is aware of that, but accidentally triggering Ai features looks mostly the same on telemetry as purposefully triggering Ai.
So think of that what you will.
