Yea in an ideal world there would be a legal construct around AI agents in the cloud doing something on your behalf that could not be blocked by various stakeholders deciding they don't like the thing you are doing even if totally legal. Things that would be considered fair use, or maybe annoying to certain companies should not be easy for companies to just wholesale block by leveraging business relationships. Barring that, then yea, a local AI setup is the way to go.
