If anyone had any doubts about the subvertive nature of Chinese AI freebies, here's a good example.
I decided to ask @deepseek_ai to do a mundane job: edit the text of a recent @the_ins_ru article to make it more vocal-delivery friendly, so we can record it as a podcast. SFSG.
Here's the beginning of the original article that DeepSeek totally promised would not alter, but for style edits
And here's the offered text that I almost choked while reading out to my daughter.
Always out for an innocent explanation, I asked DeepSeek to point to the exact article it had allegedly improved slightly. Well, the link's correct. But it insisted I had written something completely different.
I asked then for our article to be quoted back ....
When I pressed the AI entity that none of that text appears in the article, it doubled down, this time blaming it on a non-existent article from our Russian colleague from @meduzaproject Andrey Pertsev.
