		Same, if only they would take a look at where their iPhone and MacBook was manufactured. Oh wait, you have a thinkpad? Isn’t that Lenovo?

Oh give me a break.

Using a Chinese LLM will not put a Marxist under your bed.

Did you know Gemini is shockingly bad at French poetry? Hasn’t stopped me for using it for all other tasks though.

Interesting tangent - it might be taught to introduce stealthy backdoors in your company though. Maybe even across multiple PRs where each session puts a small chink in the armor, and together they allow unlimited access to the attacker who knows about them.

After all, LLMs are mostly black boxes. How comfortable would you be running a Chinese compiler?

If that happens one time at any company, it would be discovered and reported on eventually, and people would never trust any Chinese model again. The motivation for China is clearly to prevent America gaining a monopoly on AI, not spycraft. They have much more effective ways to do the latter anyway.

Whats different to US models then? They can also be taught to introduce stealthy backdoors. Its not like stealthy backdoors are a Chinese only topic.
