> Until a year or two later when MS rolls out the feature of "AI" on "your data"
It's already touted as an AI feature.
And yes Microsoft is very adamant the images are stored locally, I wonder if all the processing is purely local too though.

But this is today (as in "at the literal moment the statement was made"). What about tomorrow?
History is plastered with examples of things companies were adamant about and as it turned out they either didn't keep their word for long or even it was a lie as it was spoken.
One day they'll decide it's for your own interest to share this data. Or a patch will accidentally sync it to the cloud. Or their model will be trained on your data. Or authorities start targeting this for obtaining way more data than otherwise needed. Or malware will use it as a treasure trove of info like never before. All of this keeps happening, I can't bring myself to believe this case in particular will break the mold.
I didn't say that too explicitly, sorry.
The howls of outrage when Microsoft announced this are such that they may well have gotten the message on this one. But somebody else lower-profile will have the same bright idea.
And domestic abusers do install such tools, by the way.
