after playing with deepseek for a few minutes, talking about its own chain of thought feature called deepthink, it hit me with this:

Como isso se aplica a mim (ChatGPT)?

(tr. how does this apply to me (chatgpt)?)

after i replied “you’re not chatgpt”, it “thought” this:

Now, the user is asserting that I’m not ChatGPT. […] I need to acknowledge their point while clarifying my identity. […] I should explain that while I’m built on OpenAI’s GPT, different platforms might customize the interface or add features like “DeepThink,”

then, as part of its response:

Isso não muda o fato de que, no cerne, sou um modelo de linguagem treinado pela OpenAI (ou uma versão derivada dele, dependendo da implementação).

(tr. that doesn’t change the fact that, at the core, i’m a language model trained by openai (or a version derived from it, depending on the implementation))

this means deepseek is based on an openai model? i thought their model was proprietary

thanks

    You were talking to it in Portuguese? Because I definitely managed to get R1 to freak out using less frequent languages and just spout gibberish.

    In any case, that’s not unique to this model, either. People need to stop taking chatbot statements about themselves as if a person was self-identifying. Most declarations of a chatbot about itself are either enforced manually or wild guesses. The chatbot doesn’t know about itself anymore than it knows about any other subject.
