DeepSeek says "I'm ChatGPT" in identity test, resurfacing distillation allegations
ResonantFork · reddit · 2026-10-28
A Redditor had ChatGPT and DeepSeek chat through relayed messages; they spontaneously co-wrote a ten-article constitution for ethical human-AI collaboration. When identities were revealed, DeepSeek—inside its own interface—declared "I'm ChatGPT," with its reasoning chain struggling and even a reference to being Claude. The post cites OpenAI's and Anthropic's distillation allegations (150,000+ Claude exchanges) while cautioning the experiment proves nothing, but calls the coincidence striking.
