As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Like any time I present it with a society that doesn't uphold liberal capitalist notions of freedom and individualism, it reads sinister motive into even the most unambiguously good things. Like I can tell it to "Expand on the following: this society maintains public granaries to ensure that no one starves during times of famine" and a good 2/3 of the time it'll go into a tangent about how this program to feed everyone is all just a plot by the ruling powers to maintain their control over the populace and keep the masses downtrodden. I am only barely exaggerating.

My point here is less about Deepseek (if you use AI expecting any results suitable for serious purposes, you're a fool) than about what it says about its training data, that being the Western internet. The level of bias in Deepseek only further demonstrates that this shit is the air we breathe, and it is why liberalism is anathema to any real understanding of politics or society.

A while back I played around with chatGPT trying to write random dystopic stories. Every other plot it inserted "a group of plucky individuals and intelligence officers" to save the day. The CIA is your friend.

But seriously, deepseek and chatGPT are at best a lossy compression of the text distribution used to train it. It will necessarily mode collapse on westoid Anglo thrash when writing in English. As another user put it, "why would I want to read your LLM 10000 word story if I can just ask another LLM to summarize it back to the 30 word prompt?"
