The Chinese have released an Artificial Intelligence app called DeepSeek that has been created for a fraction of the costs of the frontrunning AI apps produced so far.
AI has been under fire for scraping intellectual property (IP) from books, research, music and images without adequately compensating the original authors or providing them with a suitable opt-out. It is understood that DeepSeek has scraped the existing AI engines and has been able to cut development costs enormously. Google, X and Microsoft are livid that they haven't been adequately compensated or provided with a suitable opt-out.
A spokesman for DeepSeek refused to confirm or deny the allegations, but hinted that the I in their AI stands for Irony.
