Li Yizhou, a Tsinghua University-educated content creator in AI, has had his educational WeChat mini-program suspended after user anger over “low-quality” content and excessive advertising. Priced at RMB 199 for livestreaming viewers, his pre-recorded 40-lesson series, with the lessons mostly under ten minutes each, had already sold over 200,000 copies. The account removal comes shortly after Li was dubbed by netizens “the only Chinese figure in the AI sector comparable to Altman, CEO of OpenAI.” Neither WeChat nor Li himself has publicly mentioned the reason for the removal of the mini-app. Meanwhile, LiblibAI, China’s largest AI creation-sharing community, accused Li of infringing on models through a website controlled by his company. LiblibAI demanded that Li cease the alleged infringement immediately and engage in prompt negotiations with the platform and original creators over compensation, according to local media reports.
