I feel computers with AI will get price drops if not as many people want to buy a PC with AI because of privacy concerms from AI scanning their files, and conversations.

True, more people are becoming aware of how bad AI is, so hopefully it will turn more people away.

[froggyboy604]

I think more people may turn off AI to save power/battery life, and prevent AI from shortening the life of their laptop and cell phone recharegeable batteries which can only be charge a few hundred times before they break or can't hold as much electricity as a new battery.

AI may also cause overheating and lag problems on slower or older computers if the AI uses the CPU and RAM a lot to generate video and picture files, or track user's tasks.

I know I uninstall it from all work PCs, it helps keeps battery and CPU usage down.

I feel turning off AI may save some bandwidth if the AI app release a lot of updates, or upload and download information to its server and your PC.

Between web browsers and AI usages, the memory and bandwidth is such a huge problem these days.

[froggyboy604]

I feel people downloading and uploading theirAI videos which they made with AI to websites and their computers can use a lot of bandwidth and storage which may cause problems with smaller video sharing websites which can't afford to host millions of AI created videos which may not earn much money from ads if many advertisers don't want to host their ads on sites with many AI created videos.
