This kind of reminds me of that time Apple made a big show of resisting court efforts to get them to unlock iphone data; they have every reason to cultivate an impression of caring about privacy, but this isn't actually evidence that they do. Giving them all this info about your life by holding a continual ongoing conversation about what you're doing on their servers is inherently pretty bad for your privacy in a way reassurances can't really fix.

There's a lot of reasons to prefer local AI instead and this is a big one.

If it ain't local, it ain't worth the exposure IMHO.

At this point, giving these parasites information is enabling your own enslavement. The quicker people get with the agenda, the easier it will be to fight back.
