DeepSeek Gives Different Answers to Controversial Questions in Chinese and Gives Personal Data to CCP
Hopefully no one is surprised by this announcement from the ROK NIS:
The Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) model DeepSeek provided different answers to sensitive questions depending on the language — for example, defining kimchi’s origin as Korea when asked in Korean, but claiming it is Chinese when asked in Chinese, Seoul’s spy agency said Sunday.
The National Intelligence Service (NIS) said it has also found the AI service provides its advertisers with unlimited access to users’ personal data and such information is subject to submission to the Chinese government upon its request under Chinese law.
The NIS released its assessment of the technological verification of DeepSeek amid growing controversy over security concerns surrounding the service, which has prompted South Korean authorities to block access to the site.

Is that right, GI?
I just used ChatGPT and asked both in English and Chinese (Google Translate). When asked which country Kimchi belongs to in English, it said Korea. But when I asked which country Kimchi belongs to in Chinese (泡菜属于哪个国家？), it said:
t looks like ChatGPT is not much better when it comes to spreading misinformation.
Korean Man,
I don’t know what’s going on, but when I ran the Chinese phrase “泡菜属于哪个国家？” through Google Translate, I got the English translation, “What country does bubble tea belong to?” See here.
Simplified and Traditional Chinese are different, Kevin Kim.
Kevin, your translation was Korean to English, so the slightly different translation could be expected.
When translated from Chinese (mainland) to English, it does in fact say, “What country does kimchee belong to?”
When translated from Chinese (Taiwan) to English, it says, “Korea Man’s momma got a bald monkeypùssy.”
BTW, the data is sent to the same ByteDance servers as TikTok, so in addition to the CCP, every other black hat hackwr has the data, too.
I asked DeepSeek to give me a high-paying professional job that takes training and skill.
It said “pirate”.
WTF?
I ask if you needed to learn how to operate a ship, the fine points of cannons usage, the techniques of proper pillage, etc.
It said no.
“You just need to learn how to fry airpraines.”
