Knowledge database hasn’t been updated. Seems like a mountain made of a molehill.
100% this, I’ve seen this exact claim a half dozen times now. I know we all want to made a big conspiracy where big tech is censoring everything, but Hanlon’s Razor tells us it’s just a poorly designed system that has no training data after 2023, so asking it about current events will always cause responses like this.
The tiananmen square massacre did not happen after 2023, and it denies this. So I think your idea has already been disproven by users of DeepSeek. I use it myself, but I'm not under the illusion that these things are more pure than the people who create them.
It also seems to resist the suggestion that something new has happened, especially someone known for supporting fascism back in 2023 being even more fascist in 2025.
Probably just a side effect of the company tweaking the training data so people can't go "oh, in 2025, new research indicated that it is fine to use glue to keep your pizza together if you eat it while skydiving off of the golden gate bridge", and have it parrot it as fact.
Who leaked my Valentine's Day plans? 😤
It has been, I've had it spit out plenty of info on recent developments even without giving it access to search the internet. I think the "you're from 2023" bit of information just hasn't been updated
