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
Or, hear me out, they don't use AI at all?
It was proven years ago that the average consumer doesn't give two shits about privacy on the internet.
The average consumer doesn't use knowingly use LLMs/"AI" for anything beyond a replacement for a search engine.
Fortunately once you give education to the average person, they stop being stupid.

This is completely the wrong way around, its impossible to secure a lone PC system completely.

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