It has been interesting to me to hear tech professionals talk about giving AI Agents access to their desktops, and I suppose it's just the next step after people gave everything over to voice assistants.

I've just heard way too many stories of GenAI and LLM products screwing things up in a major way to ever be comfortable with that and never really got into smart home technology on the assumption (now proven correct) that the devices snoop on their users. I have a smart phone but generally keep it in a faraday bag.
