While I agree with what you're saying here, the concern doesn't seem like it is worse when the model is running locally as compared to storing your data in the cloud and running all of the ai models remotely. It's ultimately the same outcome, perhaps local models offer a bit more privacy even if there are other concerns as you've mentioned.

It doesn't seem like there is any hope of stopping this, the cat is out of the bag.

with local models, you don't have to take the personal data off device, thus bypassing every privacy law. there is also a cost to collecting enormous amounts of data from telemetry sources, if they don't leave the device, that cost is 0 now. imagine recording the audio of every user you have with 1M+ MAU and shipping that to a cloud, storing and processing it,etc... now you don't have to do that. it's huge game changer.

This is like how we had flip phones with browsers and apps before the iphone..and then the iphone changed the game.
