Thinking of it, I strongly self-censor when interacting with hosted AI. Knowing that the conversations are all going god-knows-where and likely kept for eternity as training data or worse, I keep out certain data (PII, business details), and probably also subconsciously do things differently.
That's why I also have a local model for dictation - wouldn't want all that I say go to the cloud.
