It's really hard for me to imagine that an app that markets "AI for your terminal" is going to be "more secure and private" than some standard Unix tool.

Perhaps some very specific example of a security feature (such as protecting against timing attacks) could be protected against in a new tool, and not in the older more standard one. But it seems far more likely that many other security features would get forgotten in the newer tool, and by adding "AI" so many more attack vectors would be added.

It's honestly hard to even believe in the privacy claims of warp. Almost all NLP tools in today's age seem to fall towards cloud solutions, which almost immediately makes that likelihood of privacy close to nil.
