The biggest problem we face in the west is thinking our institutions are somehow different. Be critical of the product all you want, but don't pretend the exact same thing isn't happening here.

Worst thing China can do is steal your IP if you’re not a Chinese national and have no ties to China. Worst thing US can do is use your chat history in court against you. Still safer to use Chinese servers if local is not an option for the task.

You are likely being downvoted for pretending like this is a China specific problem. The only difference in the US is the government and businesses not admitting to it.

Plus I think its funny you complain about China stealing things when all the big AI models are based on massive troves of stolen information and IP.

All I see is healthy competition

Quick reminder that US data protection doesn't apply to non US customers. Companies are not even allowed to disclose their spying.
