LLMs aren't just for coding and math. Many people understand the world through LLMs, even when it comes to philosophy and politics.
If you understand the world through a Chinese LLM, you are seeing it through a biased lens stemming from biased training data.
(Also, in that way, having all major LLMs developed by the US carries a risk too. We need more diversity than just the viewpoints of the US or China.)
All 6 UN languages should have their own dedicated LLM at the very least: American for English, Chinese for Chinese, LATAMgpt for Spanish, Russia has their own, Mistral for French, the Arabs don't have one yet I think, then there's sarvam for India and South Korea's sovereign models like SK telecom's
