Good distinction. China hasn’t been behind in AI in general, just this new LLM stuff. But China also uses it’s AI for more useful things instead of just advertisements and recommendation engines, though I’m sure they use it there too. But yeah, China is catching up on LLMs, and fast. The chip war has affected their ability to get faster chips, and catch up even faster, but the tech they have is sufficient, and improving faster than westerners predicted (As it always does, the west is WAY to confident in itself and WAY underestimates China’s abilities)
