Was using my SO’s laptop, I had been talking (not searching, or otherwise typing) about some VPN solutions for my homelab, and had the curiosity to use the new big copilot button and ask what it can do. The beginning of this context was actually me asking if it can turn off my computer for me (it cannot) and I ask this.
Very unnerved, I hate to be so paranoid to think that it actually picked up on the context of me talking, but again: SO’s laptop, so none of my technical search history to pull off of.
I guess that’s why OP brought up that they were using someone else’s computer.
Also, a truly privacy-minded person wouldn’t refuse to use a hosted AI product at all. We generally just make ourselves aware that we don’t have privacy when using it, and never type anything sensitive into it. Also, have you seen what it costs to run a capable LLM?
Just don’t pull a samsung
I’ve just started messing with GPT4all for CPU based language models which can run relatively well on older gaming hardware, and a coral accelerator module for my NVR presence detection with Frigate only cost 30$
