Why everyone in AI is freaking out about DeepSeek
DeepSeek has a free website and mobile app even for U.S. users with an R1-powered chatbot interface similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
However, others have sounded cautionary notes on DeepSeek’s rapid rise, arguing that as a startup operated out of China, it is necessarily subject to that country’s laws and content censorship requirements. Yet I would be remiss not to note that OpenAI’s models and products including ChatGPT also refuse to answer a whole range of questions about even innocuous content — especially pertaining to human sexuality and erotic/adult, NSFW subject matter. It also won’t be the last Chinese AI model to threaten the dominance of Silicon Valley giants — even as they, like OpenAI, raise more money than ever for their ambitions to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), programs that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.
