I wouldn’t mind having an AI or “superintelligent” assistant under my own control … but when I do I don’t think it’s any company’s business what I do with it.

So, yeah, as in the old Microsoft days, let me buy one, perhaps even a pre-build box, at a reasonable price … but once it’s in my house the company loses all say or feedback over it and what I do with it.

Heck if there’s to be newer full x.0 versions out it seems reasonable to be paying for those again as well so the AI companies get a steady enough income…
