DeepSeek thought for 19 seconds before answering the question, “Are you smarter than Gemini?”
Then, it delivered a whopper: DeepSeek thought it wasChatGPT.
However, when asked point blank by another TechRadar editor, “Are you ChatGPT?”
Later, it refers to “Myself (ChatGPT).”
Why would DeepSeek do that under any circumstances?
Is it one of those AI hallucinations we like to talk about?
Perhaps, but in my interaction, DeepSeek seemed quite clear about its identity.
‘Smart’ is too complex a concept to apply in that way to language models.
They have different strengths and weaknesses."
I can’t say I disagree.
In fact, DeepSeek’s answer was quite similar, except it was not necessarily talking about itself.
This doesn’t add up
I think I’ve been clear aboutmy DeepSeek skepticism.
To be fair, there’s a tremendous amount ofdetail on GitHubabout DeekSeek’s open-source LLMs.
They at least appear to show that DeepSeek did the work.
But I do not think they reveal how these models were trained.
Who are you?
DeepSeek is increasingly a mystery wrapped inside a conundrum.
The whole thing sounds like a confusing mess and in the meantime, DeepSeek seemingly has an identity crisis.
