Am I too pessimistic about this? Today it can detect ransomware, the next day could be malware, and the day after can be any file.

It's just a data filter that's build in to a hardware and possibly no way to trun off. Last thing I want is a black box watching what I stored on my drive.

False positives everywhere

Just to play devil's advocate here: if that system can scan better than current systems, it's already a win. If that system can scan more efficiently than current systems, even with false positives, that could be a win, if used as a screening layer.

There could be use cases for this, or it's just buzzwords and marketing.
