Interesting theory -- maybe trying to diluting/confusing the technology market with alternatives that phone home [to the LLM] with your content.

I just had to talk someone I know out of using RedNote as the TikTok shutdown loomed last week -- they had ZERO IDEA about its provenance. Unless you're paying attention, it's actually not clear what's what.

While I definitely wouldn't trust this tech, we've also normalised phoning home with all western tech.

How many products keep sending all kind of unknown telemetry, have a ton of trackers, etc?

Can't really blame them doing the same.

Maybe they just be them, being a second economy and a 4x bigger population that is a few iq points smarter on average.
