Gansu’s public security department said Hong is suspected of committing the crime of “promoting conflict and inciting strife” and could face up to five years in prison if convicted. However, if the case is found to be serious, the convict may be imprisoned for up to 10 years and may have to pay an additional fine, he added.

Is Chat GPT banned in China?

Police said they found during the investigation that the source of the fake news was a company owned by the suspect Hong. He told that this company has been registered in Shenzhen, Guangdong province of southern China as a personal media platform. According to the police, about 10 days after being informed about the source of the news, the police team searched Hong’s home and computer and detained him. In a statement, police claimed that Hong admitted that he bypassed Baijiahou’s duplicate checking system to broadcast fake news on any account he wanted.

Hong took news that had trended a few years ago to create fake news, and with the help of ChatGPT, quickly created a new version of the news and uploaded it to BaijiaHao. It is worth noting that ChatGPT is not directly accessible from IP addresses in China, but Chinese users access it through a VPN when needed. Meanwhile, Chinese IT companies are experimenting with creating their own versions of ChatGPT after the announcement by Microsoft and Google.
