The project itself is cool if you have access to a LLM API endpoint with good privacy (perhaps your own GPU server).
I wouldn't give a LLM run by a US corporation access to my private photographs.

He put many of the photographs right there in his blog post - he obviously does not see them as secrets

"Trust me bro"
I'd be more worried about the bank statements than the photos.
Would you give it to an LLM run by Chinese, Russian, or European corporation?
I'm not OP, but I find the American threat more real and immediate than the more abstract Chinese and Russian threats.
From my perspective, the American President has threatened to annex my country, American businesses have repeatedly violated my trust, spyed on me and leaked my data, and American big tech is meddling in my country's politics. No other country has demonstrated such an ability and willingness to collect information about me and use it against me.
Same.
Given the US' NSA's long-standing violation of human rights at massive scale, and the proclivity of American society to be reasonable about kidnapping people, deemed unsavory, off the streets by jackboot thugs - and the fact that China builds roads, hospitals, ports, and communities around the world in nations considered 'inferior' by America's military junta/oligarch ruling class, while America bombs them into oblivion - I'm fine with the idea of eschewing American AI.
Its kind of necessary, I think, to resist this at the moment - at scale too, I might add.
If Americans want to fix this they still can - time is running out, however.
As a European, yes I'd prefer an EU LLM.
What I don't want to do is give it to services with an agenda to abuse the data, particularly those profiling individuals for profit. Frankly, I'd trust a Chinese service more than I would an Adtech based one, but that's still not much.
I guess PPQ.AI or OpenRouter.AI be of use to you here? Or maybe Apfel (Apple on-device AI) is powerful enough to do this?
Which US smartphone operating system do you use?
Perfect example of the "Yet you participate in society" meme.

Not the parent, but PureOS.
A reputable company will follow the GDPR and not share my personal data without explicit opt-in consent. Dodgy LLMs are anybody's guess.
Is the NSA GDPR compliant?
