I think we can all agree that modifications to these models which remove censorship and propaganda on behalf of one particular country or party is valuable for the sake of accuracy and impartiality, but reading some of the example responses for the new model I honestly find myself wondering if they haven’t gone a bit further than that by replacing some of the old non-responses and positive portrayals of China and the CPC with a highly critical perspective typified by western governments which are hostile to China (in particular the US). Even the name of the model certainly doesn’t make it sound like neutrality and accuracy is their primary aim here.
LLMs are gigantic bias reproduction machines, so it will never be perfect.
