And the people who acquired without asking permission (aka "stole") ChatGPT's training data in the first place are upset about it

While carefully avoiding any mention of copyright of course

OpenAI says DeepSeek ‘inappropriately’ copied ChatGPT – but it’s facing copyright claims too

The upside to this war of words? More competition is boosting consumer choice, including with OpenAI’s release over the weekend of a new AI model, o3-mini.

The Conversation

@staringatclouds @mycotropic @jmc @cstross I've got reason to doubt that DeepSeek was "distilled" from ChatGPT, since I trust my fellow sysadmins who had remarked on experiencing Chinese DDOS more than I trust either OpenAI or their Chinese counterpart.

But that is the claim OpenAI made.
