This is new industrial revoulation, space race and nuclear arms race all rolled up into one. If there's any fields that China doesn't want to fall behind in, it's this one.
Oh don't worry, you can tailor LLMs to speak however you want, Trump style, and have a text to voice A.I play it back in Trump's voice and have a deepfake A.I generate a ultra realistic model of Trump speaking those words. But this A.I models are totally not a game changer guys. It's no more than fun toys for office work.
Hahaha, I feel like I'm talking to a bunch of boomers talking about how the internet is totally not big deal in the 80s, because it can only mimic human interaction and that talking to people over the phone/radio, sending a message via carrier pigeon or talking in person is always going to be better.
You think Americans are gonna use it against themselves? How about using it in other countries to sway public opinion. I already suspect that a lot of the "CHINA BAD" redditors and youtubers are bots. Nukes may be bad, but it's better that you have them rather than your enemy, or failing that, you both have them rather than your enemy having them while you don't.
Those people who are impressed are basically 100% of china's A.I sector. I feel like there's a new ChatGTP-style LLM going into development every week in China since November. ChatGTP clearly rattled them.
And China is still failing at that. Baidu was one of the few that had a LLM developed since 2019. For whatever reason, they had to wait until mircosoft and OpenA.I teaming up to integrate Bing with GTP-4 and google doing the same, for them to bring out ERNIE and integrate it into their digital ecosystem.
Yeah I call bullshit. A.I was supposed to be one of the few areas that China were neck and neck with America. Me, an average joe was already aware of what a game changer GTP-3 could be, OpenA.I was hyping up GTP-4 for years, dropping hints that they were close to AGI with it, they were bullshitting a lot but there was so much hype behind GTP-4 because of that. LLM were mainstream news even before ChatGTP came out. Remember the google engineer that said that google lamda was sentient and alive and got fired for doing so? That was huge news at the time. Everybody was talking about it.
But actual A.I researchers in China don't listen to the news, let alone keep up with advancements in their field of study I guess. Hell, there was a couple of chinese researchers helping in the actual development of ChatGTP and yet the entire industry only got blindsided after it came out for public use. Talk about embarrassing.
