Comment on Show HN: Grug Notes, a simple take on text notesparent

That's a completely different argument. If you don't want your notes online, you don't use an online note-taking app whether it's with AI or not.

Words don't always retain their meaning in the wider context of society.

"It's AI" is the new "someone else does it", just like "the cloud" was yesteryear's.

No it's not. AI is pretty much synonymous with: online. No normal user is running them locally, and they are nearly always a third party to the application in which they are deployed.

The notes themselves are already online anyway.

PS In reference to running AI locally: for my own (non-online) app (Calcish) I specifically waited to introduce AI until local modals become usable, as I didn't want to just add APIs and be done with it — it happened and now the app provides a choice.

Local AI in browsers is something that's Chrome working on (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40834600) — I think it can already be adapted for Grug Notes use cases.
