Love that we’ve reached the inevitable stage of AI where writing 30 academic papers a day is less impressive than the fact they’re all confidently wrong in completely unrelated fields. Truly the Renaissance bots we deserve. #AI #chatgpt #academia 🤖📄

Conversations about AI are different in Asia
I was having a conversation on Mastodon yesterday about how different the AI conversation is in Asia from the West.
In Asia, we are less consumed by ethical, morality and monetary reasons; the conversations in Asia are more grounded in practicality.
But before you defend why one needs to be moral and ethical about AI, let me say that I can understand why these conversations dominate the likes of countries like the United States.
For one, I personally think AI is used in a way that doesn’t edify or build society:
For one, AI is being used as an excuse to lay off people. (Whether it’s about replacing people with AI or “making room” for the company to make investments into AI.) There’s very little social safety net. I honestly feel for all of you.
And another, it’s all about the money game. AI is all about the stock market, increasing investments, the S&P 500. It’s not applied in a robust way to improve society.
I also notice that conversations in English-speaking social media is often focused on closed AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini etc. In the East Open source AI is a thing and there are small, quiet movements by countries to create their own AI models. I realise how important this is because most close AI models are trained on the English internet; their values, emphasis, and context are mostly Western, which may not suit Asian societies.
How the common folk are reacting
Anecdotally, and based on my experience, I hardly encounter people in real life or online (Malaysians, that is) who are hand wringing about AI ethics. (Of course, this is not a blanket statement. I’m sure we have our hand wringers here, but they are a minority.)
Instead, many are eager to learn how to use it. At work, I have fun conversations with colleagues who are coders and engineers about usage. My co actively encourages a reasonable use of it. (I’m lucky, I know.)
I have a 70+ year old friend who wants to learn so she can teach others her age.
That’s why I ended up accidentally stepping into maelstorm when I wrote about using AI to write fiction. I didn’t realise the conversation was so … er, charged in English-speaking spaces.
The problem was, the people who screamed at me was actually screaming at a shadow of villain in their minds. If they had read my post, they would know I do not use AI to generate raw copy (that would be dumb, time-consuming and wasteful).
Conversations about energy
Also, all the talk about energy concerns is different in Asia as well. Perhaps in Malaysia we share the same energy and environmental worries as the US, but in China, where a big chunk of their energy is green, it is less of a concern and there are plans to upgrade them in new ways, and they have found ways to use AI in an economical, efficient way that is not discussed by the AI pundits in the West.
On Chinese social media, I notice conversations around AI are pretty grounded in very techy stuff like structure, algos, and discussions about what this or that model’s advantages are. They are very aware of the closed-door AIs that the US are producing.
In Cihna, AI talk is quiet as China is more focused on applying AI tech into industry. AI is actively being used in factories, hospitals and transportation systems. The LLMs for consumers are just toys and playthings; the real meat and potatoes are AI in industry.

It’s also a cultural thing because most would prefer to put their heads down and do the work than make grand sweeping podcasts like Sam Altman does.
It’s just been the Asian way (not just Chinese).
Why I avoid conversations around AI in English spaces
I wish AI pundits (pro and against) in English spaces would be more aware that the world is a big place, and not everyone treats/talks/think about AI the same way.
I wish they knew that their way is not the only way to think about AI.
But until now, I shall remain quiet (until I occasionally burst out with one of these mini essays), put my head down and learn how to use the thing. I’m also exploring open-source AI systems.
To be honest, I’ve given up talking to anti-AI enthusiasts (even pro-AI, to be honest) who are not aware of how different AI is treated in Asia.
It’s extremely exhausting to counter their most-common reasons for not embracing AI. They need to realise that their context may not apply to Asian contexts. It’s too tiring to explain it to them.
Anyway, I found this video below and I’m ready to dig in! South-east Asians are a very quiet lot.
But when their academicians talk about things, I eagerly listen.
Their conversations would probably put most people to sleep, but they alwas offer unique insights. (Also, they do a lot less fear mongering and yelling.)

Ja, genau:

I suddenly realized I'd have more confidence in #ChatGPT, or #Grok, or #Copilot, or ... if they replied with "I don't know" rather than a #hallucination.

#China leads #US on this measure of technological influence
#American companies are widely seen as offering most powerful proprietary AI, such as #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT and #Google’s #Gemini #chatbots. But by openly sharing #AI software, Chinese firms could have major influence over the trajectory of technology.
Open models from Chinese firms are rated higher than those from American companies on #LMArena, a site that uses blind tests to discover which AI outputs users prefer
