By demonstrating that you can create powerful AI on a tight budget, DeepSeek last month caused a panic in Silicon Valley. In some respect, it was too good to be true.
Current testing has revealed that DeepSeek’s AI models are more susceptible to manipulation than those of its more pricey rivals from Silicon Valley. That challenges the whole David-vs-Goliath narrative on “democratized” AI that has emerged from the company’s miracle. Google, Microsoft Corp., Google, and others have all spent billions of dollars on the system of their own models, making the venture look less like business bloat and more like a cost to advance the Artificial race and maintain the lead with more safe services. Companies who are eager to try the affordable and fun AI tool should reconsider.
