I have a feeling that a small subset of privacy-conscious "computer savvy" folks will care about local-only for AI, but that the vast majority of humanity simply won't know, care, or care to know why they should even care. For proof, just look at how nobody cared about search, photos, medical, or other data until theirs got leaked, and still nobody cares about them because "it's not my data that got leaked".
We (we in the larger sense of computer users as a whole, not just the small subset of "power-users") should care more about privacy and security and such, but most people think of computers and networks in the same way they think of a toaster or a hammer. To them it's a tool that does stuff when they push the right "magic button", and they couldn't care less what's inside, or how it could harm them if mis-used until it actually does harm them (or come close enough to it that they can no longer ignore it).
