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

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

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

Road tests of DeepSeek were quick to trigger censorship concerns. There was a rejection to respond to questions 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 expect DeepSeek to respond to at all. What I observed was odd. It did response – before promptly erasing its own reactions.
