also the actual model itself (at least some versions of it) aren't even that china-biased, deepseek-r1 run locally can give perfectly factually accurate answers that make the chinese government look bad.
Their English language models are fed from the English language corpus, which is basically everything written by the people of the Five Eyes countries, with all the truths, mistruths, and biases that that entails, with all the internalized Western capitalist Cold War I & Cold War II propaganda that that entails.
LLMs aren’t repositories of truth, and just because you believe a piece of Western propaganda doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s factual or accurate.
i said it can give factually correct answers, not sure why you went on a rant there.
Because 1) a lot of people mistakenly believe in the veracity of these chatbots and 2) a lot of Westerners believe the propaganda that’s blasted at them, unaware that they’re even being propagandized.
