The idea of asking ChatGPT and sharing my financial or medical data with OpenAI, or asking Gemini and sharing it with Google, or any other cloud AI provider doesn’t sit well with me. How about you?

No, but I've done it by mistake. I wanted chatgpt to proofread a letter and uploaded it without think over the consequences. It's very possible to do it if you aren't careful. Keep that in mind.

No, absolutely not. I run local models to have those conversations.

Having read the myriad AWS data protection agreements I would feel comfortable running bedrock hosted models. Others may feel differently.
