    Depends on what you ask.

    Go ask it about NATO or Tienanmen Square and see what happens. The data model is heavily redacted, filtered, suppressed, biased…

    So if you ask it a question, it will always be pro-China/anti-America. It also changes responses on the fly to fit with Chinese law, which includes denying the Tienanmen Square massacre, and other historic events and even goes as far as to imply or outright say they never happened at all.

    So can the content be trusted? Not really.

        Refer to my other comments above. Self-hosting it removes censorship and bias. It’s only biased as long as it’s on Chinese servers and therefore following Chinese law.

        DeepSeek has some of the most syntactically correct and accurate English to Chinese translations I’ve ever seen–so it’s super useful for that.

      This is incorrect. This only applies if not hosted locally. I host it myself it has none of these restrictions. If you’re using it from their app or website it’s hosted in China and must follow Chinese law.

        This is literally what I’ve just said…

        It also changes responses on the fly to fit with Chinese law. You called what Is aid wrong, and then immediately exactly reiterated what I’ve said…

        Why? What do you get out of it?

          I suppose if that line is a catch-all, sure. Your message didn’t make it clear that self-hosting removes Chinese bias and censorship. This is an important bit of information for OPs question, and what I get out of it is a valid and important addition to the conversation. I genuinely don’t know why you’re defensive. Being incorrect, or I suppose in this case, lacking nuance, isn’t a character flaw. I do it all the time.
