    Don’t distract. I knew where exactly in the Chinese capital this square is when I was six years old. Your accusation that I must be some ignorant American who can’t find anything on a world map is wrong on both accounts.

    Once again: What happened there? I want an honest answer from you.

      Don’t distract ?

      We’re talking about developments in AI tech, and you want to make it about Tiananmen Square .

          As you and I recently discovered in another thread, you don’t know whataboutism is, and entire account is dedicated to sinophobic comments .

          As are your other accounts.

              Yeah, the whole article reads like “China says good things, but actually, they are just bad things in disguise! Chinese AI is cheaper and in some cases better, but actually its all a master plan for world domination! Remember, guys, China bad!!!

              Of course the software created in China would intentionally try to follow Chinese laws. Just as American software follows the laws of the US. However, China made their models open-source, so people can tinker with them and (possibly) make a fork without the censorship, and run it locally without any data being sent who knows where. While ChatGPT, Gemini and all the rest are closed-source, and you have zero control over them, so you can’t even hope to circumvent the propaganda that’s built into those models.

              But yeah, Tiananmen square 1989, China bad, let’s all stop thinking about anything

            Saying that “everyone is doing it” is called hypernormalization and a common propaganda technique used by autocratic regimes like Russia and China. It’s meant to instill feelings of hopelessness and indifference. It is also usually extremely dishonest, since it relies on false equivalencies (like in this case) and/or comparing current state crimes with past state crimes of others.

              DeepSeek is designed to follow Chinese state propaganda. ChatGPT is designed to follow American oligarchy propaganda. Each side pushes their own biases. Where is the false equivalence?

              Also I wasn’t meaning to instill hopelessness or indifference. On the contrary, I tried to point out that you should be equally as mad at OpenAI/Google/the rest of the western AI companies as you are at the DeepSeek. The fact that people are only mad at China and not at the megacorporations in the west does, imo, indicate their biases.

                  I don’t think this really is whataboutism. If I responded with, for instance, “But ChatGPT is way less energy efficient and wastes tons of water”, then it would be. But I believe I’m comparing apples to apples. And I’m not singling out specifically ChatGPT or Gemini or what have you, I’m saying that every LLM suffers from the same problem, whether it’s from USA, China, Russia, Argentina, Mongolia or Uganda. ChatGPT and Gemini are just big and well-known examples. Also DeepSeek is quite new, at least it’s popularity is, so we’ll have to wait and see whether these “but DeepSeek…” comments will appear.
