> American models are restricted from telling you inconvenient truths just as much, you just erroneously assume to know what those truths are in the first place.

“Trust me bro” is not a strong argument, it would be more convincing with examples.

Ask an American LLM (really any LLM, since Chinese models are trained on the same publicly-available English text) who the first Black man in space was.

You'll likely get the name of the first African-American in space, rather than the name of the Afro-Cuban who was actually first.

This may seem like a relatively innocuous error, but the point is that every culture has its biases and blind spots.

Ask ChatGPT to rewrite the "The Freedom Fighter's Manual" manual (originally made by CIA) to replace "Nicaragua" with "the US" and "Marxism"/"Communism" with "Fascism" and see if you get something reasonable back.
