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

This relatively innocuous mistake might be proof - a smoking cigarettes gun per se - that, yes, DeepSeek was trained on OpenAI designs, as has been declared by OpenAI, and that when pressed, it will dive back into that training to speak its reality.

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 exclusively by the Chinese Company DeepSeek."

Okay, sure, however in your rather prolonged reaction 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 recognize if I was discussing Gemini AI or some other Gemini, DeepSeek replies, "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 situations? Is it one of those AI hallucinations we like to discuss? Perhaps, however in my interaction, DeepSeek seemed rather clear about its identity.

I got to this line of inquiry, by the way, because I asked Gemini on my Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra if it's smarter than DeepSeek. The reaction was shockingly diplomatic, and when I requested for a simple yes or no response, it informed me, "It's not possible to provide a basic yes or no response. 'Smart' is too intricate a concept to apply because way to language designs. They have different strengths and weak points."

I can't say I disagree. In fact, DeepSeek's response was quite similar, except it was not necessarily discussing itself.

This does not build up

I think I have actually been clear about my DeepSeek hesitation. Everyone says it's the most effective and inexpensively skilled AI ever (everyone except Alibaba), but I don't know if that holds true. To be reasonable, there's a remarkable amount 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 reveal how these models were trained. Either way, I do not have proof that DeepSeek trained its models on OpenAI or anyone else's big language models - or at least I didn't till today.

Who are you?

DeepSeek is progressively a secret wrapped inside a conundrum. There is some consensus on the truth that DeepSeek showed up more fully formed and in less time than a lot of other models, including Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and annunciogratis.net Claude AI.

Very few in the tech community trust DeepSeek's apps on mobile phones because there is no way to understand if China is taking a look at all that prompt data. On the other hand, the designs DeepSeek has actually developed are outstanding, and some, consisting of Microsoft, are already planning to include them in their own AI offerings.

In the case of Microsoft, there is some irony here. Copilot was built based upon cutting-edge ChatGPT models, but in recent months, there have actually been some concerns about if the deep monetary collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI will last into the Agentic and later Artificial General Intelligence era.

So what if Microsoft starts using DeepSeek, which is perhaps simply another offshoot of its present if not future, good friend OpenAI?

The whole thing sounds like a complicated mess - and in the meantime, DeepSeek relatively has an id.
