This isnt really a good thing. It means that consumers prefer to use cloud AI (which is a privacy nightmare) compared to running a local LLM, which is more privacy preserving

  1. It was proven years ago that the average consumer doesn't give two shits about privacy on the internet.

  2. The average consumer doesn't use knowingly use LLMs/"AI" for anything beyond a replacement for a search engine.

The takeaway of this is that there will be a missed opportunity for privacy, and users will suffer.
