I don't think China would release an app, it's a country which highly values censorship and hiding information, why would they want ChaGPT like systems that aren't heavily censored / broken from entering the public sphere.
Wouldn't it go the other way? Train it on dissident content, so that it's able to detect it and alert the censors so they can send the police to reducate the user?
Well, you could use both. One model for content generation, one for moderation and censorship.
But, in this case, as already discussed in other threads, why not simply transform everything people write or say? They still get to see what they wrote. Others only see a cleaned up and supportive of the gouvernement version. And to that on texts, chat, social networks,… everywhere you can.
And suddenly, you actually are in 1984. Except you don’t even have to send the police, or beat up people: they’ll all be deeply convinced they are part of a very small minority. If not alone.
Hilarious that you asked a question and then immediately changed that to a statement 20 minutes later when challenged. Why didn’t you just make it a statement to begin with?
The point your rhetorical question tries to drive home is bad which is why other commenters didn't let it sit. Thanks to dang hacker news has rules of conduct that prevent this place from degenerating into a cesspool, but now that another company applied similar rules to its AI then the free speech absolutists decry at the podium.
If you want a generative AI without any decency then make it yourself, but don't act like this AI is censored just because it communicates in the way that everyone in society does when they are not protected by the veil of online anonymity
Rhetorical questions don’t work the way you think they do then. Asking a question whose answer is controversial and which is phrased as an innocent inquiry is not rhetorical. At best it’s a tired ingroup membership signal rather than a honest attempt at discourse.
In which case, it wouldn’t even need to be censored, would it?
