DeepSeek's Chatbot Stumbles: A Dismal 17% Accuracy Rate Raises Red Flags in AI Race

Unknown Apr 02, 2026 2 Views

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek faces scrutiny after its chatbot scored a mere 17% accuracy in a recent NewsGuard audit, ranking last among eleven competitors, including OpenAI's ChatGPT. The chatbot was found to repeat false claims 30% of the time and provided vague responses 53% of the time, leading to an alarming 83% fail rate. This performance raises concerns about DeepSeek's claims of matching Western AI capabilities at lower costs. The findings come amid rising competition in the AI sector, igniting fears over the U.S.'s technological edge.
