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

The chatbot, which is supposedly more effective and less expensive to run than its rivals, sent the stocks of chip-maker Nvidia crashing today, and $938 billion was cleaned from its value in a single day.

of DeepSeek were fast to trigger censorship concerns. There was a rejection to answer concerns about controversial topics in China such as the Tiananmen Square massacre, which indeed I experienced when I used 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 concerns I didn’t expect DeepSeek to respond to at all. What I noticed was odd. It did response – before quickly erasing its own reactions.
