Is anyone else concerned about the huge, centralized dependency AI introduces into your workflow?

This is one reason I've been resistant to using it. I don't want my work to go to the companies providing the models. I don't trust them. Not only with my data in the first place, but also that they'll keep providing the service over the long term without totally enshittifying the experience.

I'll be so much more excited by this when local models catch up to (or even exceed) frontier-level quality. How close are we to this?

(In my case, I don't even care if it costs a boatload in hardware capital to deploy.)
