> In this report, we describe two clusters of ChatGPT accounts likely originating from China that we banned after they used our models in support of apparent covert influence operations that promoted narratives in an attempt to manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and wider tech policies.
Why would people in China choose ChatGPT for this? Surely one of the multiple Chinese LLMs would be perfectly suitable for generating social media posts, no?
I don't doubt that the PRC is up to astroturfing shenanigans (they do have a vested interest in convincing the American public to kneecap America's tech sector), but using American LLMs via American services seems like an odd choice for that.

This shit's happening with every topic now. I really wish we'd just start cutting out massive blocks of internet and phones so our old people are not scammed, so our young are not radicalized and our leaders convinced something crazy is happening any more.
