China’s ChatGPT rival bans users who ask AI about Xi Jinping and Winnie the Pooh

It's sad for China, because all MERICAN AI bots are open source and not used to spread propaganda or crush discussion.

Also, these people are just miserable

    The original reason for the copypasta was that any Chinese person who read it would supposedly immediately be disconnected from the Internet or arrested, so pretty much, yes.

    It's pretty fucking stupid because Three-Body Problem for example openly references and criticizes the Cultural Revolution, but it's not like any of this broken telephone China bad stuff has ever had any connection to reality.

      I remember seeing this mentioned in GTA Online as a method to get rid of Chinese spambot accounts in game sessions

      So you had Chinese bot accounts spamming QQ links advertising cheat menus to Chinese players, followed by gamers spamming 1989 Tiananmen Square copypastas

      Needless to say it had no effect on the bots :data-laughing:
