DeepSeek and the Dilemma of Thinking Machines

Medium Article: https://medium.com/@jsmith0475/deepseek-and-the-dilemma-of-thinking-machines-ca5254d51e91 The article discusses the response of DeepSeek-R1, an advanced AI model, to a seemingly simple request: to choose a number between 1 and 100 that is not obvious and present it in a list. DeepSeek-R1's response was not a simple answer but a detailed exploration of the ambiguity within the instruction, demonstrating the machine's capacity for in-depth reasoning and its struggle to balance precision with simplicity. The author contrasts this machine's exhaustive approach with human intuition, highlighting the inherent tension between the precise logic of machines and the messy reality of human thought. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of clear communication and the need for a deeper understanding of both the question asked and the limitations of even the most advanced AI.
