But why would you supply untrusted input to AI code completion or your private AI assistant? Just treat it similarly as a shell and don't do curl|sudo stuff.

I believe that's the OP's point. Copy-pasting some text from a site into a private LLM is very easy (and fun) to do when exploring the text. When framed as "executing arbitrary code", the implications become clear. But a lot of people won't realise this until some damage has been done.
