ChatGPT vs Deepseek: How do they rate each other?

DeepSeek, an emerging Chinese AI startup, has taken the tech world by storm, claiming the top spot on Apple's App Store, beating its US competitors, including OpenAI's ChatGPT.

The company's sudden growth coincided with recent ChatGPT service disruptions, positioning it as a potential alternative in the evolving AI landscape.

As users sought reliable AI companions, DeepSeek attracted attention for its performance across various tasks, from creative writing to technical challenges.

While the debate regarding which one is better continues, Gadinsider asked the two chatbots to rate each other—and the answers left us bewildered.

While DeepSeek remained modest, GPT wasn’t ready to give in. Let’s take a look at the responses from the China-made and US-made models. 

While the debate is yet to be settled among the users, OpenAI's ChatGPT has declared itself a "better choice" than DeepSeek

Gadinsider then asked the platforms to rate themselves. While DeepSeek's response was concise, GPT's detailed reply left us questioning which one is truly better.

Here's the detailed comparative analysis by ChatGPT.

The chatbot landscape is rapidly evolving, with new contenders like DeepSeek emerging to challenge established players like ChatGPT.

While DeepSeek's sudden surge in popularity, particularly its top spot on the Apple App Store, speaks to its appeal and potentially capitalises on user frustrations with ChatGPT's outages, the question of "better" remains complex.

DeepSeek's modesty and neutrality in self-assessment, even when prompted, contrast sharply with ChatGPT's confident self-declaration as the superior choice. This difference in approach makes a direct comparison difficult.

Ultimately, the "better" chatbot depends on individual user needs and priorities. The real winner in this competition will likely be the user, who benefits from increased choice and innovation in the AI field.
