Remember when the IoT was very new? There were similar grumblings of “Why would I want talk to my refridgerator?” And now more and more things are just IoT connected for no reason.
I suspect AI will follow as similar path into the consumer mainstream.

IoT became very valuable, for them at least, as data collecting devices.

I feel like the local only devices do have a place in the home automation sector (e.g. home assistant compatible with no cloud integrations).
Most vendors want to lock you into their crappy cloud system that will someday be offline and render things useless however.
