It's a good thing that encrypted data at rest on your local device is inaccessible to cloud based "AI" tools. The problem is that your average person will blithely click "yes/accept/proceed/continue/I consent" on pop up dialogs in a GUI and agree to just about any Terms of Service, including decrypting your data before it's sent to some "cloud" based service.

I see "AI" tools being used even more in the future to permanently tie people to monthly recurring billing services for things like icloud, microsoft's personal grade of office365, google workspace, etc. You'll pay $15 a month forever, and the amount of your data and dependency on the cloud based provider will mean that you have no viable path to ever stop paying it without significant disruption to your life.
