Ridiculous conspiracy about “definitely spies”, especially in the android community.
I remember someone tried to sue Google for reading his emails, because Anti-Spam must “read” mails to detect spams.
Anyways, for people who are afraid of cloud spions nothing is changed, for people who are interested in Google assistant boosting GA with bard is a promising improvement.
a self-hosted solution that you can ensure doesn’t.
Being self-hosted in no way, shape, or form ensures that it doesn’t spy on you. You’re still putting trust in a third-party to keep their promises. The average user lacks the know-how to audit code. Hell, the average user wouldn’t be able to figure out self-hosting in the first place.
Ridiculous take.
There’s a vast difference between using a cloud service that definitely spies on you, and a self-hosted solution that you can ensure doesn’t.
The ridiculous take is the joke:

In this case it’s less about “spying” and more about data being used for training.

You don’t have to audit code to ensure it doesn’t call home.
Okay, what can the average user do to ensure this, then?
It’s actually quite easy to see if an app is phoning home. Also easy to prevent.
