Privacy alternatives ChatGPT (lemmy.world)

As you may know, ChatGPT collects a lot of data on the users for the improvement of their AI, but this poses risks in its own way. I was wondering whether there are privacy alternatives to ChatGPT. Perhaps on F-Droid or Aurora/PlayStore, or for Linux.

Are there any alternatives you know of? Or are there other ways to interact with ChatGPT without giving personal information, such as a privacy focussed front-end?

Your future coworkers will thank you if you do not use an AI for that at all

I'm talking about really basic stuff. AI is great as an entry point to a new language.

For example, in python, finding out the current folder in which the script is running or in preact, how to use simple hooks.

It's fast, and once I know the name of the functions used, I can look up the documentation I need to and find appropriate tutorials and examples.
