I’ve been trying to figure out how to use AI in a meaningful way. There’s a number of cases where it makes sense, but the way companies like to scrape and collect data is abusive in my opinion.

I am a believer that if it’s free, you’re the product, so I would expect any AI that has a semblance of privacy included would be a paid service.

As I investigate new tools and services, I spend/waste a lot of time reading privacy policies and TOS. What’s your take on something like privacy-protector.cc? Has anyone used this, it seems straight forward, and while they do collect some identifying information, it seems reasonable.

Their privacy policy which is one of the cleanest, most straight-forward, I’ve seen in a while.

    I certainly hope my post didn’t come off as promotion of this app. My intention was to discuss viability. Decent proprietary software does exist even though that’s a bit of an oxymoron.

      It’s fine then. I’d recommend to steer against it since it’s obscure (also can’t access the site for some reason) and not FOSS. You’re better off using a local LLM
