I agree, there are art from AI that are great. It's just so much AI generated low-effort art.
I have listened to a lot of songs from suno.ai
This one is fantastic https://suno.com/song/5b0ec0ca-6063-4a21-95b9-1433c35a3ded

I also think it can be a fantastic tool to create truly original content as well.
The youtuber "There I ruined it" is a great example. If I have understood his process, he sings the songs himself and change his voice to be like the other artist.
I have been following their advice for years. I have replaced a couple of services with the suggested alternatives, and use GrapheneOS.
It is also useful to check their forum for discussion on why something is added/removed/not added
If you are new to the whole "privacy-thing" my advice would be to start figuring out your own threat model first. They have some guides for that.
Also remember that even though something does not make the cut to be mentioned as a recommendation, it might still be an improvement over what you currently use. The forums are great for discussions regarding that.
Gave you an upvote. This is an unpopular opinion shared on unpopularopinion.
Personally I find AI art to look like "AI-art" if that makes sense. It has this generic look and feel to it. It might just be that people have to prompt it differently to get something that does not look generic.
In my view it can be art, but it is just other peoples art regurgitated by a machine with lots of filtering (to prevent nudity and other things that art historically often contain)
I think the biggest issue with LLMs / AI is that it is a loophole to use other peoples work and avoid copyright and licenses.
In the scenario in which your computer is forgotten or stolen, it would offer some comfort knowing that the data on the computer is not accessible.
We have a "policy" in our household that everything that has personal data should be encrypted. That is just for cases in which we lose the device or it gets stolen. That makes it a purely financial loss, and not as invasive / uncomfortable.
But on the other hand my household are not average users. So it might not work well for other people.
