Why would I have to include that? OP asked if DeepSeek can be trusted. DeepSeek is the online cat interface–which is what OP was referring to. If they meant the model specifically they would have (or should have) referenced the model specifically which is DeepSeek-Chat or DeepSeek-Reasoner / DeepSeek-R1. If they did mean the model itself, then that’s their error. Not mine. Specificity is important.
Specificity is important no matter what you do. If that makes me “pretentious” because you were under the impression that I misunderstood, when in fact you misunderstood, then I’m okay with that. It’s not my job to ensure that you’re using nomenclature correctly, and I’m not responsible for your misunderstandings when I do use nomenclature correctly.
Specificity is less important than effective communication. If you’re sacrificing communication for the sake of being pedantic, what’s the point? There’s a reason experts don’t use jargon when talking to novices, and this is exactly that situation. I really don’t understand why you’re so bent out of shape over a reasonable addition to the conversation, and one that was helpful to the OP.

Specificity is effective communication… If you say “hand me the pen” while there is a pen and a pencil in front of me, you don’t then get to be pissed that I handed you the pen when you meant pencil. You’re the one who isn’t communicating effectively. Same thing here. If you ask if DeepSeek (which is the web-ui to the DeepSeek-chat model) is safe to use and I outline examples specifically why it can’t really be trusted in certain situations, you don’t then get to be pissed because you actually meant the model itself (DeepSeek-Chat/R1)…
Right, which is why science educators use all the most specific and correct terms rather than tailoring their speech to their audience. Don’t be such a pedant and realize that the OP clearly didn’t know the difference from the outset. You’re so concerned about being correct that you fully missed being right.

lmao what in the fuck did you just say? You don’t even hear yourself when you speak, do you? Yes. The scientists–the least pedantic people we can collectively think of. /s
You’re being deliberately obtuse, or trolling. Are you seriously trying to suggest that science educators use jargon? Watch a TED talk. Attend an open lecture. Open youtube or your preferred equivalent. You’re so wrong it’s funny. Good communicators reach their audience where they are.
Additionally, it’s pedantry to the extreme to pretend that me saying “I use deepseek,” referring to my self-hosted solution, is incorrect, when it absolutely is deepseek. Yes, you could be more specific, but it absolutely is correct to refer to deepseek in any of its forms as deepseek. Chat-GPT is Chat-GPT, regardless of version. You’ve made up rules you’re expecting others to follow, and the rules themselves are inconsistent with how people speak.
You care so much about being right that you’ll move any number of goalposts and define things any way you like just to be absolutely, technically correct. The idea of saying, “You know what, I didn’t think about that. I could’ve been more nuanced,” must be a nightmare to you.
Top to bottom this is the most insane fucking conversation I’ve ever had. You’ve convinced yourself that correctly identifying objects is “jargon” because your brain can’t physically live in a world where you’re unjustified. It’s a literal masterclass of sociopathy. It’s so fucked up you’re claiming that I “just want to win online arguments” while you twist and contort reality into a version of events where you’re somehow “not wrong” to the point where you’re claiming that correctly identifying objects somehow isn’t important and is considered “jargon.” You said that SCIENTISTS aren’t pedantic. For fucks sake man. Talk to a therapist; seek help.
Worst of all, you sound ignorant. Like… Very ignorant. Like taking your car to a mechanic and them saying you need new wheel bearings and instead of wheel bearings you get new tires and when your tire disconnects from your frame you run back to the mechanic and lambast them for being stupid and having to be right all the time because…you completely misrepresented what they had said because they “used jargon!” kind of ignorant. lol
The group chat is going crazy at these replies man.

Pretty simple stuff.
