One of the biggest anti LLM arguments for me at the moments is about security. In case you don't know, if you open a file with copilot active or cursor, containing secrets, it might be sent to a server a thus get leaked. The companies say that if that file is in a cursorignore file, it won't be indexed, but it's still a critical security issue IMO. We all know what happened with the "smart home assistants" like Alexa.

Sure, there might be a way to change your workflow and never ever open a secret file with those editors, but my point is that a software that sends your data without your consent, and without giving you the tools to audit it, is a no go for many companies, including mine.

It's why I use Aider, because it only operates on explicit files that you give it. Works great with OpenAI but if you are really worried, it interfaces perfectly with Ollama for local LLMs. A 12b model on my Mac does well enough for coding that it's serviceable for me.
