That is a deliberate choice by the site owners.

Discourse AI was built agnostic from AI providers since day one, so the admins can pick an AI provider that they trust with the data, one that adheres to any regional boundaries, or even host the AI models on the same hardware where the forum runs, so data is never shared with third parties.
