To be fair, anthropic and openai censor heavily on a lot of subjects

1. profanity 2. slightly sexual content 3. "bad taste" joke

that is heavily linked to the fact that they are US-based company, so I guess all AI companies produce a AI model that is politically correct.

"ChatGPT reveals in its responses that it is aligned with American culture and values, while rarely getting it right when it comes to the prevailing values held in other countries. It presents American values even when specifically asked about those of other countries. In doing so, it actually promotes American values among its users," explains researcher Daniel Hershcovich, of UCPH’s Department of Computer Science."

So I don't see much difference, to be honest...

I was recently trying to use the ChatGPT API to build a tiny dataset for a small NLP classifier model and was surprised to find that even relatively benign words like "escort" are censored in their API. TBF, Anthropic seems to be a bit better in this regard.

Yeah. And Deepseek denies that a country (Taiwan) exists.

I'm not sure I can trust a model that has such a focused political agenda.
