I hope you won't mind my question.
I don't use AI myself and have not read the article, but isn't there censorship and privacy issue at play also with every single non-Chinese AI out there?
I mean, can I ask one of those non-Chinese AI to make me, say, a pornographic image based on some famous person, or would it refuse? Could I ask a non-Chinese 'how can I make a bomb powerful enough so I can blow This or that (whatever one would not legally own)', or 'How should I mount a coup to take hold of power in my country?' or would it refuse to answer any of that? And then, subsidiary question, would any of these questions be reported to legal authorities?
@Libb@jlai.lu
Just read the article, and don't engage in whataboutery, or in asking questions that distract from the topic.
There are many such reviews, and all of them point in the same direction.
DeepSeek’s updated R1 AI model is more censored, test finds
A second:
Leaked files reveal how China is using AI to erase the history of the Tiananmen Square massacre
More than 230 pages of censorship instructions prepared by Chinese social media platforms were shared by industry insiders with the [independent investigators]. The files reveal deep anxiety among Chinese authorities about the spread of any reference to the most violently suppressed pro-democracy movement in the country's history [...]
There are many more from different, very reliable sources.
Feel free to whatabout further, I won't respond to such comments anymore.
