I agree with what you said, but the hosting option isn’t available right now, and it’s not available to everyone either.
So what I’m looking for is the least harmful option. Because, to my knowledge, there are models that don’t use user data to improve their services—they’re trained on either historical data or open-source data, or they rely more on web searches for their answers. (Many people recommend thaura.ai)

The smaller companies may be the best bet for not training on your data, because they cannot train models themselves usually. But there is basically no way to guarantee that they wont sell your data onwards to the bigger labs. Thaura.ai has a commendable privacy policy, but that is only worth as much as your ability to audit and sue them if they fail to meet it. So effectively, its worthless. You basically have to trust them, and given so many of these AI companies start and die (or get purchased) all the time, that’s near impossible to do. If privacy is important, don’t send your data to any company.
