Extent of my comfort with AI is through website and interaction is limited to copy and paste or upload. Capabilities not running on a system level.

But, when it comes to actually running on hardware and being able to do things by reading what is on the screen or hearing what is said I don't trust AI to be secure or privacy respecting. When it comes to that type of functionality I'll only trust ones that is compiled myself to run locally as opposed to provided by a corporations who are largely in the business of data collection.
