Fairly recently, Anthropic made news by rejecting to sign a contract with the government citing concerns that the terms in the contract would allow surveillance of US citizens and use of its AI for autonomous weapons. Trump bashed them removing them from any government work. Not long after OpenAI showed up signing the same contract (probably similar, not exactly the same). Reactions from this made people delete their ChatGPT accounts and move to Claude. At least according to media. Reality still shows CharGPT having a huge lead in users compared to any AI model.

Did the news about Anthropic and OpenAI dealings with the government made you rethink usage of these models?
Personally I have been using ChatGPT for a long time and moved to Gemini a few months ago. I'm not planning to change the model I use, though I might try Claude because of the stuff they keep coming out with, not because of their stance on this topic. I'm curious if the news itself made you rethink your prefered model.

How do you use AI?
While i personally use it to bounce ideas mostly, one of my recent favorite uses was to have it generate pictures of me with different hair styles, caricatures or test the fit of clothes i see online and see if they would look good on me. Self centered, I know - but not ashamed of it.
Write in the comments if you're actually paying a subscription for better usage of any of these uses.

What do you think about using Chinese AI models?
I'm not talking from personal experience, but there are lots of folks out there saying the models are as good as the Western ones, if not better when it comes to photo/video. And they're also cheaper for upgraded versions.
They are not as good as Western ones
