No, an LLM has not "woken up and gone bonkers". Someone simply tweaked a statistical weighting or a configuration variable and the result was a shift in the output towards what humans interpret as gibberish.
Hint: LLMs are not "intelligent", they're just glorified autocomplete trained on a gigantic corpus of input text. What they produce when you give them a prompt is not an "answer", it's just a lump of text that follows the same probability distribution as a response to the prompt.

Chinese Hakkorzz? 🙃

I personally know 3 people who grew up in China and one more from Taiwan. I suspect that there are 3, and maybe 4, very different views of politics and such on the mainland.
]]>I dunno. There seems to be a considerable overlap in levels of "I know I'm right" (with undertones of disdain for those in non-favoured groups) between certain posts here and what I see in my daily missives from PenceNews…
Yes, Greg, I'm being deliberately provocative. A goodly chunk of my family is Chinese (Han Chinese to be specific) and you feel free to regularly insult them. Are you aware of just how much you come across as a Little Englander? Because when you start talking about China, you sound just like the Trumpist rants the GOP feeds its followers.

The nation of China is subservient to the CCP. Per the CCP.
]]>So say that. You've got offended in the past when people here used the terms "British" or "English" to refer actions of your (Conservative) government.
Got a better simple name for this racist governmental organisation?
I dunno, maybe "the PRC government" or "Xi's government"? Or "the PRC" or simply "China"? Something that actually refers to the government rather than the people?

Maybe that was my point - thanks.
Which reminds me, how are the "other" ethnic/religious minorities doing inside the "Central Kingdom" these days, people like the Hmong, f'rinstance?
So associating you with your political leaders got under your skin?
Consider that that's exactly what you're doing when you conflate an ethnicity (Han Chinese) with the government of the PRC. Which is exactly why I used the term. People have pointed that out to you before but you seem to have ignored it, so I figured that the tactic would get your attention.
You're offended if I assume that you have the same opinions as Johnson or Sunak or Khan or Thatcher. That's exactly what you've been assuming about my family.
