This seems like the most plausible explanation. Only other thing I can think of is they want to develop their own CoPilot (which I’m guessing isn’t available in China due to the U.S. AI restrictions?), and they’re just using their existing infrastructure to gather training data.
I’ve never liked their videos. They do a lot of juvenile stuff, like mocking impressions, which is kind of grating to me. They’ve also been doing a lot of sus stuff lately, such as crime fearmongering, making a big deal about the term “birthing-persons,” and running for president. Makes me think there’s some amount of grift their doing.
