DeGoogle Yourself

I think you should think about why you want to degoogle. What's made that a priority for you?

I bet you'll find that using LLMs contradicts those values.

Why? I do use LLMs too, there is not a single service where I absolutely have to login with a Google account that I know off.

I've been degoogled for many years. I gave Proton's LLM, Lumo, a try. No google account required.

I use a ton of AI services, and never once needed a Google account. Chatgpt, github copilot, perplexity, all support local/email login. there's Duck.AI etc etc. You can use gemini via perplexity etc (got the free year with PayPal login) AI is easy but I don't support anyone paying (real money) for it.

I second Lumo. I find it very good at compiling pretty good sources too.

De-googles presumably for privacy and data security reasons

Using non self-hosted LLM services from providers that presumably are holding every bit of user input data to sell/re-purpose to have some return for their service (and want a google sign in to have an even more targeted data package oh my)

Now asking random strangers on the internet on how to pretty please get a google burner account to keep maintaining privacy away from google (despite having a trail associated with the device used to create the account along with the site's data harvesting practices)

Now I've seen everything.
