This is the best summary I could come up with:


Although the chatbot made by the US-based OpenAI was officially launched in late 2022, it took until 2023 for its unprecedented growth to raise eyebrows in China, where the government has set the goal of becoming the global AI leader by 2030.

AI facial recognition is employed in everything from public security to payment technology; smart glasses and helmets make it easier for many workers to perform their tasks; and intelligent robots have become a common sight in China’s service industry, in malls, restaurants, and banks.

The incident resulted in punishment for iFlyTek staff and served as a warning to other players in the field that their AI models must operate within the guidelines and regulations of China’s strictly governed cyberspace.

Thanks to new AI technology, business owners can now purchase their own deepfake influencers to work and sell for them at all hours of the day, offering unprecedented opportunities to small Chinese entrepreneurs.

Baidu recently announced its grand plan to boost rural economic development by helping 100,000 Chinese farmers sell their products via virtual livestreamers internationally.

The central government’s tight control over digital developments has meant the emphasis is on cyber sovereignty, collective support, “national harmony” and maintaining power with the party.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
