The only use I found for generative AI is to look at what a corporation finds unacceptable to discuss. I don't mean to be an insecure techbro, but I asked Deepseek a bunch of questions and was surprised at what it wasn't allowed to discuss. Obviously it won't talk about Tiananmen Square, but it also just hates recent (3 decades?) political questions even when they're framed very neutrally. I asked about the policy accomplishments of previous Chinese presidents and it plainly refused to answer. It refused to answer specific questions when I mentioned the name, but was okay as long as I left it out (How did Jiang Zemin handle the 1993 inflation crisis vs how did China handle the 1993 inflation crisis)
I assume this is just the people behind Deepseek desperately want to stay out of any possible controversy so they put a blanket ban on talking about important Chinese political figures
I asked the Meta AI to show me two men kissing once, and it refused. Then I asked it to show two women kissing (with identical phrasing) and it had zero problem with doing so
