I think it highly likely that LLMs are - overall - going to be incredibly damaging to whatever vestiges of privacy people have left. So this statement came with a certain jolt of morbid humour for me.
On my (admittedly unusually powerful for this task) M4 Macbook Pro 128GB, I have access to locally-running LLM's that are almost as good as the cloud ones.
This trend will continue, and they will continue to become more locally accessible and performant over time. Local LLM's will get you the privacy you seek.
Privacy (like most rights, I dare say) only makes sense collectively. My own privacy is of trifling importance to me compared to our access to the right collectively.
