Maybe you're anti-AI because you're really anti-outsourcing your thinking to some remote corporation you don't control?

That's one of my main issues with AI anyways, the thought of having all my data go through some sketchy foreign (to me) entity with questionable motives and under a questionable regime.

Local AI solves for all of those.

I'm not against AI. I'm calling out the hypocrisy in the comment. I'm anti-AI, but will spend hours trying to setup a local model, instead of just getting access to frontier intelligence in 15 mins, and actually getting useful work done.

If you're learning about model inference, then it's a different and you are definitely not anti-AI in that case.

I think learning how to set up a local AI now requires less time than learning about potential pitfalls of token-plans and processing payments in corporate environments.

It's not that billing is complicated, but learning to set up a local AI is a lot more useful and more rewarding.
