Deepseek AI is a chatbot developed by the Chinese company Deepseek. The company was founded in May 2023. After its release, it has caused serious market crashes with losses greater than $1 trillion. Big companies like Nvidia lost $600 billion market value.
Is Deepseek worth the hype? let’s find out…
Introduction
First of all, we asked deepseek about itself and its creators. The answer it gave was not satisfactory. Therefore, let us break it down for you.
Deepseek is an AI chatbot similar to Chat GPT and other response (text) generating AI tools like Google Gemini or Meta AI.
It is owned by a Hedge fund High-flyer. It was founded by the co-founder and current CEO of the company Liang Wenfeng.
Comparison with ChatGPT
Budget
First of all, the amount of money required to train Deepseek AI was just a fraction of the amount used for ChatGPT. Deepseek spent $6 million while OpenAI invested over $100 million.
About Itself

ChatGPT has a good amount of self-awareness, knowing a lot about its creators and itself.

Deepseek does not know a lot about itself and its founders. Seems like the devs missed a point.
Simple Questions
We asked both chatbots whether the number 9.11 is bigger or 9.9. Both responded the following way:

ChatGPT gave a simple but to-the-point answer. Nothing extra. This is a good feature to some extent. But for people wanting a full explanation, this is not adequate.

It gave a full explanation. However, it feels like overkill. A little explanation doesn’t hurt but extending the answer to his length was not necessary.
Complex Questions
For the next one, we asked both chatbots to write us the equation for the nuclear fission of Uranium.

This time, ChatGPT simply gave us the equation with a little explanation just as we requested.

It was again found guilty of overwriting. Regardless, this time it didn’t even include what we had asked. These are the limitations of deepseek. A newer version of the chatbot can improve this feature.
Conclusion
It is not right to say that ChatGPT is better than Deepseek or vice versa. Both chatbots have their pros and cons. However, simple operations can be improved by putting complex prompts for better results.
The new world is a haven for AI. New ones keep coming and old ones keep improving. Someday, an even better alternative would come and we wouldn’t even remember what ChatGPT or Deepseek were!
