- Gemini: I’d recommend not using AI, but if you want to, then use Deepseek, Claude, ChatGPT, or anything else
- Google Search: DuckDuckGo, SearXNG, Kagi, Mojeek, Qwant, Startpage, Marginalia
- YouTube: use invidious.io for watching YouTube videos (it also gets rid of ads), and use PeerTube (video platform federated like Lemmy) and watch videos, and maybe post some if you have something to post about
You can also search the web for lots of deGoogling advice and guides and for alternatives to Google services

Why use ChatGPT over Gemini?

They’re basically all equally good

I was merely listing non-Google AI models. The actual recommendation that I gave is “I’d recommend not using AI”, but because some people find AI useful and like it, I mentioned the popular other options and also “anything else”.
I don’t use AI, so I don’t have an ethical FOSS model to recommend. If someone else does, I’d be curious to know.
