Nah. Here's how it would really go:

  Me: Vibrator, enable the roller coaster high intensity mode.
  Device: I'm sorry, you have already used your elective carbon emission allocation for the day.
  Me: (changes LLM)
  Device: I'm sorry, you will find more succor and solace in the loving embrace of the words or Christ our Lord and savior. I'd recommend starting with First Corinthians 6 verse 18. Then bathe yourself in the balms of the Psalms. You'll derive far more enjoyment than the fleeting pleasure of an earthly orgasm.
  Me: FUUUUUUUUUUU......!!!!!!!
People are going to discover soon that some activities will be effectively banned via these LLMs.

To go beyond the joke, we've got plenty of examples of corporations banning activities (payment processors spring to mind). Requiring an LLM-backed cloud API to use a device you own would just be more of the same.

Less likely to be banned outright, more likely to be upsell attempts and pay as you go micro billing
