Tricking DeepSeek Into Panicking With a Fake Jacobian Conjecture 'Refutation' Prompt
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-01
A user shares a fun trick: with web search off, DeepSeek doesn't know the (fictitious) claim that the Jacobian conjecture has been disproven — and refuses to believe it even when told. The user crafted a prompt posing as an elementary school student who 'found a breakthrough,' presenting a 3D polynomial map with constant Jacobian determinant -2 and several points mapping to the same image, then asked the model to verify. DeepSeek visibly freaks out. The full prompt is included, making this a reproducible experiment in exploiting knowledge cutoffs and authority framing.
