If your using the mobile app or a web app that runs your request on a server in china, yes, the responses you get will be based on their laws.

You can go get your own copy off of hugging face (assuming its not getting its own hug of death), run it locally and generate your own model/weights with what ever data you want and it will tell you anything you want. (You do have the option to use their pre-trained weights and you will get the same result as the first paragraph)

This is the reason Sam Altman has been crying himself to sleep for the last week, if you want an equivilent model from openAI, its in their most expensive plan (IIRC thats ~200$/mo)

It will actually talk about it if you run it locally

As if Western AIs didn't also censor things.

This one is open source. You can train over the omissions and run your own instance, unlike the big ones here

Look man, I'm all down for anti Chinese government sentiment but at least say something that isn't this fucking asinine

Have you tried Western LLM? It's so fucking censored it's basically useless.
