Project is Not Completely Local Nor Private

Open joeyame opened this issue 10 months ago • 7 comments

The description claims the following:

  • 💻 Completely LOCAL (no GPU need, any computer can run )
  • 🔐 Completely PRIVATE (all thing runing locally)

Both points are lies. While the search is performed locally, piping all that data into OpenAI's servers is not local nor private in the slightest. It's a cool idea, but at this point this repo doesn't provide anything more than me just using OpenAI's interface directly.

You do not get to claim that everything is local and private when you depend on an external web API. That goes against the whole meaning of those two words.
