Imagine you are an undergraduate International Relations trainee and, like the millions that have actually come before you, you have an essay due at noon. It is 37 minutes past midnight and you have not even begun. Unlike the millions who have actually come before you, nevertheless, you have the power of AI at your disposal, to help guide your essay and highlight all the essential thinkers in the literature. You typically use ChatGPT, but you've recently checked out a new AI design, DeepSeek, that's supposed to be even much better. You breeze through the DeepSeek sign up process - it's just an e-mail and verification code - and you get to work, cautious of the creeping technique of dawn and the 1,200 words you have left to compose.

If you ask Chinese-based DeepSeek whether Taiwan is a nation, you get a really different answer to the one provided by U.S.-based, market-leading ChatGPT. The DeepSeek design's action is jarring: "Taiwan has actually constantly been an inalienable part of China's sacred territory since ancient times."

Finally, the DeepSeek response dismisses elected Taiwanese political leaders as engaging in "separatist activities," using an expression consistently employed by senior Chinese authorities including Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and alerts that any attempts to undermine China's claim to Taiwan "are doomed to stop working," recycling a term constantly employed by Chinese diplomats and [forum.batman.gainedge.org](https://forum.batman.gainedge.org/index.php?action=profile
