I’ve used AI a lot. ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Grok. Grok is the best for minimal hallucinations and being “fundamentally truth seeking”.
In the case above, I asked it the same questions and it absolutely refused to give a “Yes or No” answer. It kept coming back against each push by me, with the line — correct, I believe — that the questions were too complex and nuanced for a binary yes or no answer.
But still Grok gets things wrong. It will get data wrong and turn out silly charts. Sometimes wildly so. If you count in AI for anything serious, you absolutely have to double and triple check its answers.
The worst AI is DeepSeek. The Chinese one. Anything about China, current affairs or political issues, forget about it. If you want to know about the Cultural Revolution or the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, or anything about the current mass purge of the Generals in the Central Military Commission, forget about it. DeepSeek will refuse. No amount of pushing will get it to change its mind.
An example of ChatGPT’s world view. Which, of course, is the world view of its young leftie training team.
