I do "take pride" in things I put my time and thinking into, regardless of whether it is assisted or not. For example, I am somehow proud and like some songs that I produced using Suno because of the days I spent iterating on them.
Also in vibed projects that I put my time on. It is also true that it's been a long time without going back to a class or system I coded by hand just to "admire it" and get that feeling of, "omg, this class is fire!"
I see e2e encryption over photo galleries a must since is a way of protecting yourself against misconfigured servers, future exploits or unpatched software.
For me it is more like, i should have started leaving a trace before the invention of modern genAI, now maybe is late. I could have had a trusted trace to prove that I am a genuine human, now I get the impression that faceless new accounts/profiles or whatever are all fake and automatically managed.
I agree, and i think one more thing should be also explicit; save files.
Whether the game works offline, and until when the servers are guaranteed, is one part. But the savegames and progression data should also belong to the user.
The game is made by the studio, sure, but the save file is the part I construct by playing. It is my time, my choices, my progress, my world state and my memories.
So I would add a clear principle that the publisher should not be able to kidnap the user's save data.
That is not true, over an extended task that you cannot keep complete in memory humans do not behave with 100% consistency.
I have labeled datasets with a human team and shown the same task to the same user on a different day, and they answered differently. Of course, they are usually consistent with themselves most of the time but not always.
What it would be interesting is a photo service back-end that can completely run with encrypted files in the server, like iCloud with Advance Data Protection.
All the processing is done on-device (phone) and the server is just for distribution
