>Users thinking e2ee is possible when you chat with an ai agent.

It shouldn't be any harder than e2ee chatting with any other user. It's just instead of the other end chatting using a keyboard as an input they chat using a language model to type the messages. Of course like any other e2ee solution, the person you are talking to also has access to your messages as that's the whole point, being able to talk to them.

I do not think this matches anyones' mental model of what "end-to-end encrypted" for a conversation between me and what is ostensibly my own computer should look like.

If you promise end-to-end encryption, and later it turns out your employees have been reading my chat transcripts...

e2ee implies that there is a third party who can't read the messages. If you are chatting with an AI, who is the third party?
