I asked DeepSeek about China – then viewed it censor itself midway through the answers

The arrival of DeepSeek, a brand-new Chinese chatbot to rival OpenAI, Google and Meta, has actually sent out shockwaves through the AI world and the US stock exchange.

The chatbot, which is supposedly more efficient and more affordable to run than its competitors, sent the stocks of chip-maker Nvidia crashing today, and $938 billion was cleaned from its worth in a single day.

Road tests of DeepSeek were quick to prompt censorship concerns. There was a rejection to answer concerns about questionable topics in China such as the Tiananmen Square massacre, which certainly I experienced when I utilized it for the very first time.

Watch the video below to see DeepSeek’s real-time self-censorship in action.

I then asked it some other questions I didn’t anticipate DeepSeek to address at all. What I observed was odd. It did answer – before without delay deleting its own reactions.
