I originally used local models as a somewhat therapeutic/advice thing. I didn't want to give openAI all my dirt.
But then I decided I'm just a chemical reaction and a product of my environment, so I gave chatGPT all my dirt anyway.
But before, I cared about my privacy.

That doesn’t address the practical significance of privacy, though. The real risk isn’t that OpenAI employees will read your chats for personal amusement. The risk is that OpenAI will exploit the secrets you’ve entrusted to them, to manipulate you, or to enable others to manipulate you.
The more information an unscrupulous actor has about you, the more damage they can do.
