Isn't it alleged that China goes for specific use cases and not general intelligence?

Maybe that's the way to go and not the gamble that the US and western companies are doing.

It's much easier to build an expert ai, you don't need it to have general knowledge and can feed them data manuals. It takes a lot less processing power and generates much better, accurate and relevant results. It also means there is a set quantity of data the ai can/needs to consume to know everything about x subject.

Think about it like the... The Spotify library is like 350tb, but you won't ever need all that, exclude all foreign language content,podcasts, and genres you don't care about and that 350tb can get slimmed down a much more relevant 35tb, specialist ai is kinda like that....
