One of my favorite books recently, The Mountain in the Sea, features insect-sized drones capable of injecting someone with Something Evil or exploding in a place it shouldn’t, a la the attack on the Death Star exhaust port.
Giant clouds of drones? Maybe dramatic, but I’ve always preferred the sniper role.

There are other ways to weaponize AI

Thing is, they, meaning manufacturers, will probably find a way to implement AI/machine learning at a firmware/hardware level, which would mean that it wouldn’t matter which OS you are using.

The only thing that would matter is whether the OS shows the info within the OS or hides it.

I feel like buying a new device now, rather than waiting for this one to die or become obsolete so that I can avoid having a device like that.

Despite all deficiencies, AI is being used by most all big players in the media. Human resources come at a cost, you know, while algorithms are "free"... (here's to RP & their best friend, Spotify).

As humans are generally lazy, all needs to be forgiven!

Even Microsoft's latest plans.
