  1. I don't have a problem with A.I. in the OS or other software, but there's no way in hell I would want to use A.I. if it's sending data back and forth to an online server. This might not sound like a big deal now, but A.I. is going to continue to get better and more useful, that basically means we are likely going to want to use it a lot more in more areas, that's where the online models become very invasive when it comes to privacy, security and other concern. For A.I. to really take off long term, it's going to have to be entirely done locally on the device, where no sensitive data is being sent online and the A.I. has online access to retrieve information depending on what you are asking, but none of the information is going to a corporate server, which no doubt will have back doors to many governments. If that's not bad enough, imagine online A.I. models with robotics around the house, I suspect a lot of the public, corporations and even many governments around the world will have issues with that once A.I. really starts becoming useful in our daily lives, and for me, this is a major weakness these online models have, the more useful they become, the more of a privacy, security issue they become and then many will want alternatives that run locally that don't have these issues, and honestly, I don't think there's anything the corporations can do to get around this problem. To put it simply, A.I. will continue to get better and more useful in more areas, that will mean we will want to use them more, it's also a given that A.I. and robotics will link up, and the real icing on the cake will be once A.I. has a long term memory so it can build a profile on you as a person, that would have advantages in the A.I. being more personalised to you, but that would also be a major privacy and security issue for a lot of us, because of all this, I think the more useful A.I. becomes, the more of us will want to use locally run models on our hardware so we have more direct control over what's going on, which thankfully, A.I. is developing rapidly in the open source community, that I'm surprised at the quality that can already run locally in just over a year.
