So DeepSeek has this very cool feature that displays what it is “thinking” before it gives you its answer. It’s quite neat in that you can see its “thought” process, but it also has the added benefit of revealing whatever bias it might have developed with its training data.
In this case, I asked it if we might be living in a “slow motion World War 3” with the Maiden Coup in Ukraine being the opening shots. The mf thought that I might “buy Russian propaganda” because I called it a coup rather than a revolution.
So although DeepSeek is Chinese, it was still very clearly trained on a lot of mainstream / 
information.
A huge amount of what they’ve ingested is social media comments, blogs, and what passes for news.
So they’re basically as reliable as asking a redditor except the subreddit you submit it to is random and hidden from you, and the redditor is on LSD doing a free association exercise utterly unconcerned with truth claims, and also the most convincing liar you’ll ever meet.
