Cloud or local AI?

What do you think about this, which is better suited for an advanced user?
Cloud AI is easy to use and undemanding in terms of hardware, but at the same time it is burdened by censorship, while local AI, such as LLM, etc., looks interesting but requires careful configuration and is sometimes quite demanding on hardware.

Local AI's is best. You need to find the best one. Local LLMs take a huge toll on your GPU though.

Keep in mind there might be some vulnerabilities with local AIs and you risk your PC getting infected.

I like Local because of its security features.

Cloud AI is easier and faster to work with, but local AI gives you more freedom and control if you’re willing to deal with the setup and hardware side.
