The key difference is that Chinese companies release their models in the open. And nothing is stopping people from building on that using community efforts instead of whinging about AI incessantly. Meanwhile, the data has already been taken, and I don’t believe in copyrights in the first place. There are real arguments to be made against closed proprietary models, but there aren’t really any good arguments against open ones.
I mean, it’s either American (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) Billionaires or Chinese (Alibaba, Z. AI) Billionaires making the models.
And even if you find a model not built by the billionaire class, you still require datacenters to train the models.
And even then, the data required to build these models must take from millions of artists/writers/etc.
I’m not saying you have to hate AI, but saying you can run a model locally doesn’t change who created it and how they created it.

Wow, what a well reasoned argument you’ve mustered.
