The only AI which I use is Andi, because it's the only one really usefull, private and anonym I found until now. Search contents don't appears even in your browser history.
Seriously?
The only private AI is self-hosted.
Yes, but if you don't have a big server for an decent LLM, it's more private, but notmore reliable as the paleolitic MS Clippy. Andi is currently the most reliable and private AI, made by a small startup pissed of the big corporations and the surveillance, the reason why are the first which want to use the AI for searches long before any other, with an own independent LLM, centerd in reliable sources and answers, contrasted in several sources. In change to others it don't invent nothing, if it find an answer it offers an traditional websearch. All anonym, with random proxie, no logs, no tracking, no ads, no coolies, no limits, no account. Eg. permits to watch YT videos in the search result, without ads, as said, works even as YT front end,which other search engine can do this? Try it, I use it now since more than 3 years and as said, I don't regret it.
I don't use AI since I prefer learning, but from what I've heard, it's self-hosting or bust.
Proton recently released an AI chatbot, though it is not really doing the same thing as Andi.
If you really really want/need an LLM for some reason, install ollama. It's the only safe and easy way to do it.
