No. There are hundreds of entirely valid reasons to be wary of AI, especially the fact that the word AI has just turned into a corporate buzzword, when I hear that (insert thing) has had AI added to it, that can mean anything from a single static image that was made using "AI art" , to a large language model being used, or maybe they just grafted chatGPT to it.
Maybe if people and companies stopped labeling everything even tangentially computer related as AI I'd be less dismissive of it, but as it is now, whenever "AI" is mentioned in relation to a product it feels like a "corp wants to artificially increase percieved value by using latest trend" moment
A lot, as in a large amount, its hard to put a finite number on something like a large part of a large community I am not a part of nor interested in.
I am not the only one who has noticed this, here is a skit video from 4 moths ago demonstrating this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBCzH1UyNY
As for sources there are TONS, it takes 5 seconds of googling to find a whole page, including:

Hell, just open one of the NFT marketplaces like opensea, I went to the art tab and the top trending is AI "art"
Also, a large amount of those NFT bros have lately been pushing to allow AI companies to steal artist's works and otherwise generally licking big AI companies' collective boot, so not exactly a great look for the future of the industry
Don't get me wrong, its completely possible that actual AI will come about in that time frame, but what they're talking about is turning predictive text and image generators into something on par with true sentience, which it is not really something this tech is capable of in my eyes*, the main reason this tech is being called AI is because that makes it much more marketable
As for a time frame, I have no idea. I personally believe that if TRUE AI is invented, it will either be something that happens on the basis of a new technology that we have not yet discovered, and it will happen overnight, or it will happen accidentally using existing technology in areas we arent looking for it.
- it occurs to me that by "compete with" they may mean in the job market, which is something this tech can currently do in some fields (poorly), but since it steals the work of actual humans to do so, its not really that the "AI" would be getting better to the point of competing, it would simply be that the people in charge get better at hiding the theft to the point that the content would actually seem original
Not gonna happen, what everyone is calling "AI" isn't even actually AI, its just a type of predictive text
Personally, I really enjoy Obsidian ( obsidian.md ), its been fantastic for my notetaking on my PC.
Now, I will admit I haven't tried it myself but it can apparently work on Synology, so that might be an alternative. Best of luck finding one!
youtube is plagued with these bots that either copy someone else's comment (normally positive of the video creator in order to avoid being auto deleted) or use some chatbot to come up with phrases, the picture is always some attractive woman or sometimes just straight up images from porn, when you click on the profile the banner image or profile links will contain a link to either a scam site or an onlyfans page. They generally also bot upvotes on their comments in order to get better visibility
