Sure, why not: China built a chatbot based on Xi Jinping

China has developed a chatbot trained on the various thoughts and philosophies of President Xi Jinping. This bot was built using literature attributed to the leader.

With that in mind, the chatbot was trained on official literature that falls under that umbrella, including more than 12 books allegedly written by Xi Jinping himself. Popular news apps from companies like Tencent and Netease reserve slots at the top of feeds for articles from official state media, and most of these posts feature Xi. Chinese companies like Baidu and Alibaba must ensure that their models strictly control generated content related to Xi or any sensitive issue.
