Your personal AI could become a 'digital landlord': switching assistants means losing everything
VraserX · x · 2026-10-27
The author sketches a near-future scenario: your personal AI knows everything about you—manages your money, negotiates contracts, runs your life—but switching to a competitor means losing all of that memory and context.
At that point it's no longer an assistant but a "digital landlord," and he expects companies to deliberately engineer this lock-in. A sharp warning about data sovereignty and platform lock-in in the era of personal AI agents.
