Try the reverse, get a document that is critical of the US foreign policy, from China, and ask your well known brand LLM, to convert the text from PDF to epub.

It'll right out refuse, citing the reason that the article is critical of the US.

I was able to get around such restrictions pretty easily[0] while the LLM still being quite aware of who we're talking about. You can see it was pretty willing to do the task without much prodding despite prefacing with some warnings. I specifically chose the most contentious topic I could think of: Taiwan.

Regardless, I think this is besides the point. Isn't our main concerns:

1) not having kneejerk reactions and dismissing or accepting claims without some evidence? (What Lxe did)

2) Censorship crosses country lines and we may be unaware of what is being censored and what isn't, impacting our usage of these tools and the results from them?

Both of these are quite concerning to me. #1 is perpetuating the post truth era, making truth more difficult to discern. #2 is more subtle and we should try to be aware of these biases, regardless of if they are malicious or unintentional. It's a big reason I push for these models to be open. Not just open weights, but open about the data and the training. Unfortunately the result of #2 is likely to contribute to #1.

Remember, I'm asking other people to help verify or discredit the WP's claims. I'm not taking a position on who is good: China or the US. I'm trying to make us think deeper. I'm trying to stop a culture of just making assumptions and pulling shit out of our ass. If something is verifiable, shouldn't we try to verify it? The weaker claim is almost trivial to verify, right? Which is all I did. But I need help to verify or discredit the stronger claim. So are you helping me do that or are you just perpetuating disinformation campaigns?

Can you show an example PDF this works with?
