The list of concerns omits many things (although they do mention many valid concerns), such as concerns about control by the organizations that provide the AI services, power that is better used elsewhere (independently of whether it is "too much"), using too much space, effects on prices of things, excessive scraping, inappropriate use of AI, someone trying to force or insist strongly that you should use it even if you do not want to, etc. It might be potentially possible to mitigate some of these concerns (and in some circumstances, some of them are mitigated), but that still doesn't mean you should be required to use it. Software and services that make the AI features optional is one way to help (and is worth doing, if applicable for that software/service), but it does not solve everything; but, one way will not solve everything.
