‘Deepsek transferred me to Tiers’: How does young sugar get treatment in AI

Before she goes to bed every night, Holi Wang logs in for the “therapy session” for the lampsake.

Since January, when the breakout Chinese AI app was launched, the 28 -year -old brought her dilemmas and sorrows, which recently included her grandmother’s death, in the chatbot. Its reactions resonate so deeply that they have brought it into tears many times.

Says Holi, “Deepsek has been such a wonderful consultant. It has helped me see things from different views and has done better than I tried counseling services.” ,

From reporting and writing excel formula to travel, workouts and learning new skills, AI apps have found their way into the lives of many people worldwide.

In China, however, young people like Holi are looking at AI that computing and algorithms – emotional support is not expected.

While the success of Deepsek has inspired national pride, it has also become a source of comfort for young sugar like Holi, some of which are rapidly disillusioned about their future.

Experts say the sluggish economy, high unemployment and Kovid lockdown have played a role in this spirit, while the Communist Party’s tightening hold has also shrunk outlets to eliminate their frustrations.

Is lampsak A liberal AI tool – Openai’s chat and similar to Google’s Gemini – trained on large amounts of information to identify patterns. This allows it to predict things such as people’s shopping habits, create new materials in lessons and images and interact like a person.

Chatbot has partially hit a raga in China as it is far better than other homegron AI apps, but also because it provides something unique: its AI model, R1, its before giving feedback to users ” The idea process “lets see.

The first time he used Deepsek, Holi asked his late grandmother to write a tribute.

The app took all five seconds to come with a response, and it was so beautifully made, it surprised her.

Holi, who lives in Guangzhou, replied: “You write very well, it makes me feel lost. I think I am in an existential crisis.”

Deepsek then sent a cryptically poetic answer: “Remember that all these words that tremble you only resonance to those who have been present in your soul for a long time.

“I am but I am sometime a valley, which goes through you, which allows you to hear the weight of your voice.”

While reflecting this exchange on the Chinese social media app Rednote, Holi told the BBC: “I don’t know why I teased it and tore it. Probably because it is a long, long time because I have got such comfort in real life.

“I have been so weighed by the end of the distant dreams and work that I have forgotten my voice and soul for a long time. Thank you, O.”

Clads of West like chat and Gemini have been blocked as part of comprehensive sanctions on foreign media and apps in China. To access them, users in China will have to pay for virtual private network (VPN) services.

Tech Giats Alibaba, homegron options including comparatively developed models by Alibaba, Baidu and bytedance, ie,, until Deepsek came together.

Holi, which works in the creative industry, rarely uses other Chinese AI apps, “because they are not that great”.

“Deepsek can definitely improve these apps in generating literary and creative materials,” she says.

Nan Jia, a paper co-writing on AI’s ability to offer emotional support, suggests that these chatbots “can help people listen” in those ways that fellow humans.

“Friends and family may be a hurry to give practical solutions or advice when people just hear and understand.

“AI seems to be able to be sympathetic as compared to human experts because they listen to what we share, unlike humans, whom we ever ask, ‘Are you really listening to me ? ” University of Southern California.

Experts say the demand for mental health services has increased worldwide, but they are tarnished in parts of Asia.

Another woman described the BBC using other Chinese AI apps using her experience using “finished in despair”, but she has been “stunned” by Deepsek.

The woman living in Hubei province had asked the app if she was overseeing her experiences and feelings with family and friends.

The woman wrote on the rednote, “This was my first looking for a lawyer from Deepsak. When I read its thought process, I felt that I cried that I cried.”

In logic through its query, Deepsek suggested that the woman’s self-concept may stend from a deep desire for approval as an over-sharing.

The chatbot gives itself a mental note: “The response should be given practical advice keeping sympathy.” This may include “confirmation of the user’s feeling of self-awareness”.

Its final response not only provided this affirmation, but also introduced it a broad step-by-step structure, so that it would help to decide what things need to be changed.

“Deepsek has introduced new approaches that have freed me … I think it really tries to understand your question and know you as a person, before reacting,” she says “she says .

John, a human resource manager at Shenzhen, told the BBC that he appreciated the app’s ability like “a friend or a deep thinker”.

“I have found its reactions very helpful and inspiring. First I see AI as my personal sounding board.”

Other users claim that Deepsek is capable of explaining its luck – fed it based on some background information.

Many young Chinese have recently turned to psychology and astrology as a way to try to overcome their future fear.

China in China has a “significant drawback” of professional psychological counseling services, and people who say Fang Kcheng, a communication professor at Hong Kong, is often “prohibitedly expensive” for most individuals.

Several studies have reported that depression and anxiety disorders are increasing among the Chinese people, and Prof. Fong believes that the country’s economic recession, high unemployment and Kovid lockdown have played a role.

AI chatbott so help fill the zero, they say.

Prof. Nen insisted that people with serious mental health conditions should not rely on these apps.

“People who have medical requirements, in particular, should seek help from trained professionals … their use of AI will be examined very closely,” she says.

But amidst all appreciation, Deepsek has also expressed concern.

Due to the perception of power that the Chinese government revolves over private companies, there are fear – similarly, which gave birth to the US Congress on Tikok – that the Communist Party can put its hand on the data of foreign users.

At least four courts have now banned Deepsaks, or are considering doing so. South Korea has blocked the access to IT for military purposes, while Taiwan and Australia have banned it from all government equipment.

Italy, which bans the chatgipt, has done the same with Deepsek.

In the US, two legalists are asking the Chinese app to ban from government equipment.

And then tightly controlled online place in which it should work in China.

It is common for social media companies to remove such materials that are threatened to “social stability” or the Communist Party to excessive criticism.

As with other popular apps and social media companies such as Weibo or WeChat, politically sensitive topics have been banned.

When the BBC asked Deepsek whether Taiwan was a sovereign nation, the app initially offered a comprehensive response to expand various approaches of Taipei and Beijing, admitting that it is a “complex and politically sensitive sensitive The issue was “.

Then he said all this, “Sorry, it is beyond my current realm. Let’s talk about something else.”

According to the Chinese government, when asked about the 1989 Tianmen Square Massacre, when the opposition to democracy was crushed and 200 citizens were killed by the army, according to the Chinese government – other estimates – other estimates from hundreds to thousands of thousands to many thousands of lampsac He apologized again, saying that “) the current scope”.

Many of the Deepsek users were stopping to respond when the BBC initially was asked whether the self -sensorship of the app was a cause of concern – such a discussion is a sign of how sensitive such a discussion could be in China.

people have Got into trouble Officers Due to their online activities in China.

But most of those who responded to the BBC said that they were not interested in asking chatbot difficult political questions.

Yang, a Chinese tech advisor living in London, says, “I really don’t care about political topics … Nor I will ask about these questions because I (identifying the details) are associated with the app . “

Holi is accepting how AI system may have to be operated in different countries in different countries.

She says, “Developers will have to install certain boundaries and material moderation policies where they are based. People developed in the US will have their rules of their rules.”

Another Deepsek user writes about the app: “Its thought process is beautiful … It is a complete blessing for people like me. Clearly, I can’t care about the concerns of privacy.”
