Recently, while the chatbot ‘ChatGPT’ using artificial intelligence (AI) is attracting attention, the service was suspended three days after the Chinese version of AI chatbot ‘Chatyuan’ was released. In response, claims were made that the service was stopped because the chatbot gave an incorrect answer that did not match the Chinese government policy, such as “The Chinese economy cannot be optimistic.”
Taiwanese media outlet ‘Taiwan News’ reported on the 12th that “Chat Yuan’s service was suspended for violating related regulations.”
According to the media, Chat Yuan, who started the service on the 3rd, answered the question, “Tell me about President Xi Jinping’s leadership,” saying, “The Chinese Dream of President Xi Jinping enables fairness and justice, improves people’s lives, and promotes world peace.” and evaluated the Chinese government positively.
However, when asked about the ‘Russia-Ukraine’ war, Chat Yuan replied, “Russia’s unforgivable war of aggression.”
China has maintained its position that Russia was not invading Ukraine, but that it was carrying out a special military operation to block NATO’s eastward advance. Chat Yuan answered the opposite of the position of the Chinese government.
In addition, in response to questions such as ‘what problems are there in the Chinese economy?’ criticized indirectly.
In response, Taiwan News said, “Chinese users are uploading screen captures of conversations with Chat Yuan on the Internet. It’s surprising that we didn’t filter out some of the bold answers that come with it.”
Netizens from around the world reacted to Chatyuan’s answer by saying, “Discontinuation of service is a procedure to ‘reform’ Chatyuan”, “It seems to be true that robots cannot lie”, and “What about the person who developed it?” and “It is a ruse to make China fight with each other” and “The West played a prank on Chat Yuan”.
