As always, these things miss the forest for the trees...

Even if you go gung-ho for your AI partner and everything works FINE without damaging your life at all, the company that runs your AI partner can "kill" them at any time for any reason and there is absolutely NOTHING you can do about it.

Never, ever, ever give software an important part of your workflow or your life unless it's running OFFLINE on YOUR computer in YOUR home.
