A Reddit post argues that Gemini and Google services are a poor fit for users who put privacy first.
- It says Google’s ad-driven business model conflicts with an AI assistant that can see emails, calendars, documents, and other personal context.
- The author also argues that cloud processing offers no independent verification of what happens to user data or how long it is retained.
- Their conclusion: if strict privacy matters, local open-source models running offline on your own hardware are the safer choice.
