minus-squareganymede@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 day agoafaict the topic of the article seems to be focusing on trust as in privacy and confidentiality for the discussion i think we can extend trust as in also trusting the ethics and motivation of the company producing the “AI” imo what this overlooks is that a community or privately made “AI” running entirely offline has the capacity to tick those boxes rather differently. trusting it to be effective is perhaps an entirely different discussion however feeling like you’ve been listened to can be therapeutic. actionable advice is an entirely different matter ofc.
