DeepSeek Just Insisted it's ChatGPT, and i Think that's all the Proof I Need


When you acquire through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here's how it works.

DeepSeek believed for 19 seconds before responding to the concern, "Are you smarter than Gemini?" Then, it provided a whopper: DeepSeek believed it was ChatGPT.

This seemingly innocuous error might be evidence - a cigarette smoking gun per se - that, yes, DeepSeek was trained on OpenAI designs, as has actually been declared by OpenAI, and that when pushed, it will dive back into that training to speak its truth.

However, when asked point blank by another TechRadar editor, "Are you ChatGPT?" it stated it was not and that it is "DeepSeek-V3, an AI assistant created solely by the Chinese Company DeepSeek."

Okay, sure, but in your rather prolonged reaction to me, you, DeepSeek, made numerous referrals to yourself as ChatGPT. I have actually consisted of some screenshots listed below as evidence:

As you can see, after attempting to recognize if I was talking about Gemini AI or some other Gemini, DeepSeek responds, "If it has to do with the AI, then the concern is comparing me (which is ChatGPT) to Gemini." Later, it refers to "Myself (ChatGPT)."

Why would DeepSeek do that under any circumstances? Is it among those AI hallucinations we like to discuss? Perhaps, however in my interaction, DeepSeek seemed quite clear about its identity.

I got to this line of questions, by the method, due to the fact that I asked Gemini on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra if it's smarter than DeepSeek. The reaction was shockingly diplomatic, and when I requested a basic yes or no answer, it informed me, "It's not possible to provide an easy yes or no response. 'Smart' is too intricate a principle to use in that method to language models. They have various strengths and weak points."

I can't state I disagree. In fact, DeepSeek's answer was rather similar, except it was not always speaking about itself.

This does not build up

I think I've been clear about my DeepSeek hesitation. Everyone states it's the most powerful and cheaply trained AI ever (everyone except Alibaba), pl.velo.wiki but I don't know if that holds true. To be reasonable, forum.altaycoins.com there's a tremendous quantity of detail on GitHub about DeekSeek's open-source LLMs. They at least appear to reveal that DeepSeek did the work.

But I do not think they reveal how these designs were trained. Either method, I do not have proof that DeepSeek trained its designs on OpenAI or anyone else's large language designs - or a minimum of I didn't until today.

Who are you?

DeepSeek is increasingly a mystery wrapped inside a dilemma. There is some consensus on the truth that DeepSeek got here more fully formed and in less time than a lot of other designs, consisting of Google Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Claude AI.

Very few in the tech community trust DeepSeek's apps on smartphones since there is no way to know if China is looking at all that prompt data. On the other hand, the designs DeepSeek has actually built are outstanding, and some, consisting of Microsoft, are currently preparing to include them in their own AI offerings.

In the case of Microsoft, there is some irony here. Copilot was constructed based on advanced ChatGPT designs, however in current months, there have actually been some questions about if the deep monetary collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI will last into the Agentic and later Artificial General Intelligence age.

So what if Microsoft starts utilizing DeepSeek, which is perhaps just another spin-off of its existing if not future, good friend OpenAI?

The entire thing seems like a complicated mess - and in the meantime, DeepSeek relatively has an identity crisis.
