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.

Having a gitignored .env file is a pretty common pattern.
