factually accurate answers

Their English language models are fed from the English language corpus, which is basically everything written by the people of the Five Eyes countries, with all the truths, mistruths, and biases that that entails, with all the internalized Western capitalist Cold War I & Cold War II propaganda that that entails.

LLMs aren’t repositories of truth, and just because you believe a piece of Western propaganda doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s factual or accurate.

Because 1) a lot of people mistakenly believe in the veracity of these chatbots and 2) a lot of Westerners believe the propaganda that’s blasted at them, unaware that they’re even being propagandized.
