@finallymadeanaccount i am indeed very passionate about data privacy :)
this is less about which AI is "safe to use," and more about the fact that these AI websites track us in the exact same way 99% of the internet does.
whether or not that is "safe" for you depends entirely on your personal identity. these third parties that collect and aggregate data on you can sell that data to anyone - including government institutions. The US CBP (Border Patrol) has notoriously used this method of data collection to track peoples' movements
(shout-out to @josephcox and @404mediaco for the incredible reporting - i <3 you)
regardless of whether or not it is dangerous for someone, I personally don't believe it is ethical to abuse peoples' privacy like this.
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
