Yes! It's a bit more than, "somewhat disingenuous," to say a system built to use the OpenAI API works with you to make sure, "your data never leaves your machine".
That's like saying I invented a new form of transportation where you're feet never leave the ground but in actuality I'm just a travel agent sending you to the airport.
"your data never leaves your machine" is only mentioned in the Search section, where it is it true. No-one reading that would assume that meant everything considering the two last sentences above in the Chat section explicitly says it's using OpenAI.
Really feels like people are nitpicking and hating on this project for no good reason. I feel sorry for the authors.
