That’s it? There are security risks but The Future? On the one hand I am giving it access to my computer. On the other hand I have routine computer tasks for it to help with?

The issue here with the negativity is that it appears to ignore the potential tremendous upside and tends to discuss the downside and in a way that appears to make as if it's lurking everywhere and will be a problem for everyone.
