US models are getting put on a leash in the direction of intellectual property.

Recently both Claude and ChatGPT refused to help me download a "backup" of an old movie you couldn't get elsewhere.

Chinese models had no qualms.

Please, don't let yourself be drawn in by the false Chinese/US dichotomy. The real difference is whether a model is locally hosted (thus, under your control) or not.

		I apologize for the confusion, you're absolutely right. ^satire Thinking of it, I strongly self-censor when interacting with hosted AI. Knowing that the conversations are all going god-knows-where and likely kept for eternity as training data or worse, I keep out certain data (PII, business details), and probably also subconsciously do things differently. That's why I also have a local model for dictation - wouldn't want all that I say go to the cloud.

Claude had no problem at all helping me set up a media server running kodi, jellyfin, radarr, sonarr, prowlarr, qBittorrent, and the rest of that entire stack. It did briefly point out the lack of legality of downloading movies, but seemed to convince itself there are also legitimate purposes and never brought it up again.
