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

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

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

Road tests of DeepSeek were quick to prompt censorship concerns. There was a rejection to answer concerns about controversial topics in China such as the Tiananmen Square massacre, which undoubtedly 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 discovered was weird. It did answer – before without delay deleting its own actions.
