I'm sure ChatGPT and co have a decent enough grasp on what is not allowed in China, but also that the naive "prompt engineers" for this application don't actually know how to "program" it well enough. But that's the difference between a prompt engineer and a software developer, the latter will want to exhaust all options, be precise, whereas an LLM can handle a bit more vagueness.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the developers can't freely put "tiananmen square 1989" in their code or in any API requests coming to / from China either. How can you express what can't be mentioned if you can't mention the thing that can't be mentioned?

> The City & the City is a novel by British author China Miéville that follows a wide-reaching murder investigation in two cities that exist side by side, each of whose citizens are forbidden to go into or acknowledge the other city, combining weird fiction with the police procedural.
