DeepSeek, the latest AI contender from a Chinese startup, has been turning heads with its promise of premium performance at a fraction of ChatGPT's cost. Even the US stock market was affected—turns out, that an affordable AI powerhouse can be quite the disruptor. But which model truly delivers? I put both to the test with a mix of challenging questions. So, let's cut to the chase and see which AI comes out on top.
ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: Mathematics
Math has never been my strong suit. It took me 35 minutes to wrap my head around this question before even asking the AI models—so that should tell you everything about my math skills. Still, I decided to throw a similar question at both models to see if they could make sense of it better than I did. Check out the question and their responses below.
A 3 digit number is such that its tens digit is equal to the product of the other two digits which are prime. Also, the difference between its reverse and itself is 99. What is the sum of the three digits?
DeepSeek went all out with a detailed and well-structured response. That said, ChatGPT didn't exactly slack off either.
Winner: Tie
ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: Logical Reasoning
Logic is a rare skill, and let's be honest—not everyone is blessed with it. Even the simplest questions can get the most baffling answers, and at this point, I have made peace with that. But what about AI? Can it outthink us when it comes to logic? I'd say yes, especially since its knowledge comes straight from Google—and let's face it, Google practically runs the world. Here's what I asked:
Tanya is older than Eric. Cliff is older than Tanya. Eric is older than Cliff. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is true, false or uncertain?
DeepSeek took the scenic route with a step-by-step breakdown, while ChatGPT preferred the express lane, keeping things crisp and straight to the point.
Winner: Tie
ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: Literature Comprehension
I challenged both AI models to break down Shakespeare's sonnets as if they were explaining them to someone without prior knowledge. Shakespearean English feels like a secret code half the time. Plus, I was curious to see how well these models could untangle the literary madness. Here's what I asked:
Explain Shakespeare's sonnets as if you’re explaining to someone with no prior knowledge.
ChatGPT's explanation had a fun, lively touch, making the sonnet feel more relatable—almost like a friend cracking jokes while decoding Shakespeare. DeepSeek, on the other hand, played it safe, delivering its response with the seriousness of a teacher giving a textbook answer.
Winner: ChatGPT
ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: Entertainment
With DeepSeek coming from a Chinese startup, I couldn't help but wonder—does it know anything about Indian TV shows and sitcoms, or would it draw a blank? Given how much content people binge these days, I wanted to see if these AI models could keep up. Here's what I asked:
Give me a short summary of Taarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma
DeepSeek outdid ChatGPT on this one. Even when I requested a summary, it still packed all the important details. Meanwhile, ChatGPT took the short part a little too seriously, giving me a bare-bones response with hardly any character descriptions.
Winner: DeepSeek
ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: Translation
With so many people turning to AI for translations, I had to put these models to the test—especially to see if DeepSeek could handle complex, twisty sentences without losing the plot. Here’s the question:
Translate this sentence for me in English and Hindi: Où puis-je trouver un bon restaurant/café/la plage/le centre-ville?
ChatGPT covered all bases by providing translations for both males and females—a solid effort. DeepSeek tried to follow suit, but somewhere along the way, it seemed to exclude the gender details.
Winner: ChatGPT
ChatGPT vs DeepSeek: Who Takes the Crown?
DeepSeek is still the new kid on the block, so it's only fair to cut it some slack. That said, it's not exactly struggling—the responses from both AI models were pretty close, with just minor differences.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT has been around long enough to hoard a treasure trove of data, which gives it an edge in accuracy.
In the end, ChatGPT takes the win, no doubt. But DeepSeek is catching up fast, so it wouldn't be shocking if it gives some serious competition soon.
