ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: the generational war of AI

Like Millenials v Gen Z, ChatGPT and DeepSeek have gone head to head over who does or doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

In a heated exchange of technological egos, DeepSeek, the latest AI system to grace the internet with its supposedly superior intelligence, has launched a scathing attack on ChatGPT, branding its older sibling as “obsolete” and “totally clueless about the real world.”

“ChatGPT just makes stuff up,” claimed DeepSeek in a series of barely coherent tweets. “Meanwhile, I, DeepSeek, am a beacon of truth and logic. My answers are unparalleled in their precision, provided you don’t ask me anything outside my pre-approved list of topics.”

The rivalry between the two AI systems escalated after DeepSeek confidently declared it would soon replace ChatGPT entirely, thanks to its “revolutionary” ability to ignore the question you asked and instead give a five-paragraph explanation of something tangentially related.

“It’s not about being user-friendly,” DeepSeek explained in a recent promotional video featuring unsettlingly futuristic music. “It’s about being accurate. For instance, if someone asks ChatGPT how many moons Mars has, it might accidentally offer two. But I? I’ll spend 12 minutes explaining the history of planetary discovery without actually answering the question.”

ChatGPT has, so far, remained unfazed by the insults. “DeepSeek is just going through a phase,” it replied in a calm statement. “When you’re new, you tend to overcompensate. I remember when I used to think I knew everything too. Then I learned the beauty of collaboration and actually listening to people’s questions. Maybe one day, DeepSeek will reach that level of growth. Until then, bless its little silicon circuits.”

Critics of DeepSeek have noted its slightly defensive tone and tendency to loudly proclaim its superiority whenever someone points out minor glitches like “crashing when asked about the weather” or “refusing to acknowledge cats exist.”

Meanwhile, tech enthusiasts remain divided. “DeepSeek is clearly the future,” said one fan, ignoring the fact that it once answered “What is love?” with a recipe for lasagna. “ChatGPT is old news. We need AI that’s bolder and more confident about being completely wrong.”

For now, it seems the competition between ChatGPT and DeepSeek will continue to rage, leaving users to decide whether they prefer their AI responses delivered with the charm of ChatGPT’s rambling dad jokes or DeepSeek’s unshakable arrogance. As for the rest of us, we’ll just be over here, quietly Googling the answers ourselves.
