OpenAI accuses the Chinese startup DeepSeek of potentially stealing its technology to create a new AI model via a process known as distillation. This process involved using ChatGPT by bombarding it with questions to gather and track responses, which DeepSeek then used to train its own models. The implications of this alleged violation raise questions about the ethics of AI development, especially since generative AI often relies on borrowed media. If true, DeepSeek's resultant capabilities, comparable to its rivals, raise concern over original content creators' rights.
If DeepSeek did indeed rip off OpenAI, it would have done so through a process called 'distillation.' They allegedly bombarded ChatGPT with questions, tracked the answers, and used those results to train their own models.
DeepSeek is impressive - about as capable as other cutting-edge models, and developed at a much lower cost - but it may be so only because it was effectively built on top of existing work.
