Overall costs is the important aspect. I think very much for the time being going forward that the plan is many hundred millions use A.I. for entertainment or similar, enabling it to be affordable on big projects. I expect this given how A.I. now being asked to do services that were performed just as well before A.I. - primarily as a search engines. Frankly as someone as an extremely heavy search engine user up until 2015 and tapering off with DDG till approx 2017, both Google and DuckDuckGo are ghosts of what they once were.
Yes the other issue many would have, even with smaller low compute is it continues the path of subscription based services. I hear for example citing its use as a word processor, correcting grammar but surely this is a function that a decent A.I. could compute the definitive buy once ultimate guide program that can work offline and with less issue of leaking creative thoughts and ideas if a person was worried about such things.
Most western countries are surveilled by the likes of agencies similar to NSA - it happens and shouldn't be of much concern to the average punter, but A.I. is mostly likely going to be used by local, state and federal authorities to constantly monitor and with little overview, perhaps pandering to unknown interests or those with an axe to grind who wish that relevant interventions occur with those opposed to their grand plans. By interventions, it could be dire but even as benign as simply burying a perceived thorn under a heap of paperwork / legal wrangling / on time sensitive matters- never got a reply, if registered mail - oops oh your reply was lost ... etc.
