      Chinese capitalists are just as prone to bullshit as western ones. Chinese government might reign it in but they are slow to react.

      It depends on what they mean by “AI”

      It’s a shitty marketing buzzword so it can mean anything from algorithmic logic to LLMs. Not all “AI” requires it’s own nuclear power plant and a Great Lake to operate.

      AI has plenty of good uses. Its just capitalism that finds the shittiest ways for them to be possibly used.
