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


When you buy through links on our website, we might earn an affiliate commission. Here's how it works.

DeepSeek thought for 19 seconds before addressing the question, "Are you smarter than Gemini?" Then, it provided a whopper: DeepSeek thought it was ChatGPT.

This apparently harmless error could be proof - a smoking gun per se - that, yes, DeepSeek was trained on OpenAI designs, as has actually been claimed by OpenAI, which 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 developed specifically by the Chinese Company DeepSeek."

Okay, sure, however in your rather lengthy action to me, you, DeepSeek, made multiple recommendations to yourself as ChatGPT. I've included some screenshots listed below as evidence:

As you can see, after attempting to discern if I was discussing 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 describes "Myself (ChatGPT)."

Why would DeepSeek do that under any situations? Is it one of those AI hallucinations we like to discuss? Perhaps, but in my interaction, DeepSeek appeared rather 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 action was shockingly diplomatic, and when I asked for a basic yes or no response, it told me, "It's not possible to give an easy yes or no response. 'Smart' is too intricate an idea to apply because way to language models. They have various strengths and weak points."

I can't state I disagree. In fact, DeepSeek's answer was rather similar, other than it was not necessarily talking about itself.

This does not include up

I think I have actually been clear about my DeepSeek uncertainty. Everyone says it's the most effective and inexpensively trained AI ever (everyone except Alibaba), however I don't understand if that holds true. To be fair, there's an incredible quantity of information 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 expose how these models were trained. In either case, I do not have evidence that DeepSeek trained its models on OpenAI or anybody else's big - or a minimum of I didn't till today.

Who are you?

DeepSeek is significantly a mystery covered inside a quandary. There is some agreement on the reality that DeepSeek showed up more completely formed and in less time than the majority of other designs, including Google Gemini, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Claude AI.

Very few in the tech neighborhood trust DeepSeek's apps on smart devices since there is no other way to know if China is looking at all that timely information. On the other hand, the designs DeepSeek has actually built are excellent, and some, consisting of Microsoft, are currently planning to include them in their own AI offerings.

When it comes to Microsoft, there is some irony here. Copilot was constructed based on innovative ChatGPT models, but in recent months, there have been some concerns about if the deep monetary partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI will last into the Agentic and later Artificial General Intelligence age.

So what if Microsoft begins utilizing DeepSeek, which is potentially just another offshoot of its present if not future, good friend OpenAI?

The entire thing sounds like a confusing mess - and in the meantime, DeepSeek apparently has an identity crisis.
