Hey folks, been hearing some chatter that DeepSeek might just be ripping off ChatGPT's tech or ideas. Anyone got thoughts or know the real deal? Seems kinda sus to me but wanna hear what y'all think.

Not sure if it's stolen exactly but the features and responses are super similar. Feels like they’re riding on ChatGPT’s popularity.
I've tried both and honestly DeepSeek feels a bit slower and less polished than ChatGPT. That tells me it's not the same tech under the hood.
Honestly, I think it's all just marketing hype. DeepSeek might have used open models or similar tech, but definitely not stolen outright.
I got the same feeling. It looks like they just took ChatGPT and slapped a new name on it. Not cool if that's the case.
