- Praise: Brave's 'Leo' AI allows users to specify local endpoints for processing, enhancing privacy and enabling on-device capabilities, which is a significant advantage over traditional models.
- Concern: Google's history of data exploitation raises serious concerns about their trustworthiness, especially with claims of on-device AI that may not be as secure as advertised.
- Concern: The revelation that Chrome may not fully protect user data contradicts the expectations for privacy in AI applications, undermining confidence in Google's AI initiatives.
