So, some kind of identifier is assigned to you but it or its corporate overlords never know who you are. No cookies, no tracking, etc. Maybe just a white, female, 2 kids, interested in dogs, biking, business, making cakes, etc. So it knows you and is more helpful that way but not who you are specifically. IOW: privately but not total and forgotten anonymity with each session.
The only options I can find are to use Apple Intelligence (not ready for prime time, maybe when Gemini is fully integrated…) or create an anonymous Google account while on a VPN (don't have one) and just use that with Gemini. But the second you are off the VPN, Google will connect the dots and know who you are. If I use Apple Private Relay, it will figure me out even faster. A final option is to set up an AI on your Mac. No thanks on that one.
It seems like there should be a privacy AI relay which makes an artificial version of you, which the AI thinks is you in Amsterdam or Bogata or Vancouver or Palo Alto but other than working with what you have asked, is not knowing a damn thing about the real you. OK, maybe I need a VPN but, why should I need one for something so simply obvious desired by so many: Privacy. Just wondering how can I remain private in my use of AI but still train it to know me? Simply. On a Mac.
