OpenAI accuses DeepSeek of infringement, and the creator retaliates: the biggest thief cries 'stop thief,' the US Navy orders to block DeepSeek

OpenAI accused the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek of infringing on its technology, but it was ridiculed by a group of content creators, accusing OpenAI of extensively "stealing" internet content to train its AI, and now it is just reaping what it sowed. (Background: OpenAI has evidence of "DeepSeek's infringement," using GPT distillation technology to train Chinese AI) (Background: Deepseek R1 opens up the "new era of DeFAI," what new path will Open Source and AI agents take?) The recent launch of the Open Source reasoning model R1 by the Chinese startup DeepSeek has rapidly set off the entire AI technology field. Its claim of being "low-cost and high-performance" has caused the stock prices of leading American AI giants such as NVIDIA and OpenAI to plummet. Even the U.S. President, Trump, has called DeepSeek the "alarm bell" of the American AI industry. OpenAI accuses DeepSeek of infringing on intellectual property. In response to the strong new competitor, the British Financial Times reported yesterday (29th) that OpenAI claimed to have found evidence that DeepSeek had used its model through "distillation" technology, and accused DeepSeek of possibly infringing on OpenAI's intellectual property. However, OpenAI has not yet presented clear evidence, and there is also a lot of legal discussion about whether this behavior is illegal. Against this background, the Wall Street Journal recently published an open letter from a group of content creators to OpenAI CEO Altman, mocking OpenAI for extensively "stealing" internet content to train AI, and now coming out to accuse others, which is simply "reaping what they sowed." Extended reading: OpenAI has evidence of "DeepSeek's infringement," using GPT distillation technology to train Chinese AI Open letter criticizes OpenAI: reaping what they sowed This open letter signed by "global content creators" is full of ridicule from the beginning: Hmm, stealing other people's achievements! How does that saying go? Reaping what you sowed... You know, if you don't understand, GPT-4 can help you complete that sentence. The letter directly points out that OpenAI has been training AI by crawling internet content, but now it is accusing others of plagiarism, this "double standard" is unacceptable. The letter also mentions the extremely similar voice of ChatGPT to Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson last year, questioning OpenAI's transparency in AI training data. The letter also names the "Media Manager" promised by OpenAI, allowing creators to choose whether their content can be used for AI training, which has not been fulfilled to this day. When OpenAI's Product Director Kevin Weil was asked about this at the Davos Forum, he only responded: We are still working on development, and when there is more content to share, we will announce it. Although OpenAI has recently signed content licensing agreements with media and publishers, such as The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times, many writers and artists are still filing lawsuits against it, believing that OpenAI has used their works without permission.

According to CNBC, the U.S. Navy has issued a ban to all members, prohibiting military personnel from using DeepSeek "in any way," citing "potential security and ethical risks" associated with the model's source and use. This order applies to all units related to the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. military's wariness of Chinese AI technology has escalated. This ban is the first step for the U.S. government to block DeepSeek, and it remains to be seen whether it will extend to other federal agencies, or even trigger stricter AI bans. U.S. government alert, Department of Commerce may order a crackdown On the other hand, with DeepSeek becoming the most downloaded free app in the U.S. Apple App Store recently, experts speculate that the U.S. Department of Commerce may intervene to investigate, and even require Apple and Google to remove the DeepSeek app from the U.S. market to curb the development of Chinese AI technology. AI industry expert Paul Triolo analyzes: The U.S. government's means of restricting Open Source AI are limited because DeepSeek's technology may have already spread through the Open Source community, and blocking it alone cannot completely stop its influence. In addition, Lawrence Ward, a partner at the U.S. law firm Dorsey & Whitney, pointed out: If the U.S. discovers that DeepSeek violates the ban on high-tech chips to China, such as using banned NVIDIA chips to train AI, it may impose civil or criminal penalties on the company.
