I use Microsoft Word's automatic transcription feature at work and a client has asked me about it. I too am aware of the potential for it to be a source of information leakage. Ideally, if I use LLM in my work, I should self-host it, right?

Gloria Johnson, One of the “Tennessee Three,” Announces US Senate Run
A Democrat hasn’t won a U.S. Senate race in Tennessee since 1990
Democrats Johnson, Justin Jones & Justin Pearson led a protest in favor of gun reform on the floor of the state House of Representatives.
Johnson was the only member of the trio who wasn’t expelled: "I think it’s pretty clear. I’m a 60-year-old white woman and they are two young Black men"

Hi there, my name is Ashley. I created a fundraiser for my back rent and bills. To provide some context, I was a substitute teacher, unemployed over the summer months. I am working an unpaid internship as a student social worker, I’m a graduate student. I am looking for employment while completing my practicum. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you 🫶

If you had a time machine, you could ask me at any age you wanted to, and my past self's best guess would be wrong literally every time.
