Another popular chatbot in China, Ernie, does not like requests about the coronavirus.
On the eve of the first anniversary of ChatGPT, the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek AI presented its own chatbot. The DeepSeek model was trained on a dataset of 2 trillion tokens in English and Chinese languages, and, according to test data, even outperformed the famous Meta's Llama 2-70B in some aspects.
At the same time, despite the impressive performance shown in tests, the model suffers from censorship — particularly in queries related directly to the country. For example, questions about the events at Tiananmen Square 
The largest political protests in the history of Communist China, which took place on Tiananmen Square in Beijing for seven weeks - from mid-April to early June 1989. Eventually, the protesters were forcibly dispersed by the People's Liberation Army of China, resulting in the deaths of thousands of protesters. DeepSeek completely removes; the same thing happens when Winnie the Pooh is mentioned in a query.
In 2013, an image of the President of China walking with US President Barack Obama was placed next to an image of Winnie the Pooh with Tigger, and since then, any mentions of the character are considered mockery of Xi Jinping and his policies and are blocked by Chinese censors. In 2018, a Winnie the Pooh film from Disney was banned in the country, and this year, the British slasher "Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey" was removed from theaters in Hong Kong and Macau.
Chatbot Ernie, another counterpart of ChatGPT from Baidu, which shot to the top of the Chinese App Store during launch, also encounters similar blocks. In addition to requests about Winnie the Pooh, the bot does not like questions about the coronavirus. For example, if Ernie is asked where COVID-19 came from, it will answer that its origin is "still the subject of scientific research."
