DeepSeek is designed to follow Chinese state propaganda. ChatGPT is designed to follow American oligarchy propaganda. Each side pushes their own biases. Where is the false equivalence?

Also I wasn't meaning to instill hopelessness or indifference. On the contrary, I tried to point out that you should be equally as mad at OpenAI/Google/the rest of the western AI companies as you are at the DeepSeek. The fact that people are only mad at China and not at the megacorporations in the west does, imo, indicate their biases.

This exactly is whataboutism. The issue here is DeepSeek. There are many articles here where people are "equally as mad" about OpenAI?Google and the rest of Western AI, but in these threads, you never read, "But China, ...". This whataboutism appears to work only in one direction.

I don't think this really is whataboutism. If I responded with, for instance, "But ChatGPT is way less energy efficient and wastes tons of water", then it would be. But I believe I'm comparing apples to apples. And I'm not singling out specifically ChatGPT or Gemini or what have you, I'm saying that every LLM suffers from the same problem, whether it's from USA, China, Russia, Argentina, Mongolia or Uganda. ChatGPT and Gemini are just big and well-known examples. Also DeepSeek is quite new, at least it's popularity is, so we'll have to wait and see whether these "but DeepSeek..." comments will appear.
