Deep Seek vs Chat GPT: Exploring the New Frontier in AI Language Models
31 Jul 2025
In this episode of "A Journalist's Guide To AI," host Yumi Wilson dives into a head-to-head comparison between Deep Seek—the new open-source AI model from China—and ChatGPT. Yumi breaks down the hype surrounding Deep Seek, discussing its rapid rise, open-source nature, and the impact it's had on tech stocks and online conversations. To get a clearer picture of how these two AIs stack up, Yumi runs three real-world tests: summarising the day’s top news, crafting an engaging headline, and writing a press release. While Deep Seek impresses with its innovation and price, it stumbles on timely, accurate information, at times serving up outdated stories. ChatGPT, on the other hand, continues to shine with up-to-date facts and structured writing, but is not without its own hiccups, like producing an inaccurate headline. Yumi emphasises the importance of fact-checking all AI-generated content and encourages listeners to try the prompts themselves. The episode concludes with practical takeaways on the strengths and weaknesses of each model and a reminder that, as always, original human thinking remains essential.
