An evaluation of DeepSeek compared to other AI tools

Part three of an eight-part series of blogs

Much has been made in the media of how the new Chinese AI tool DeepSeek rivals almost anything that the likes of ChatGPT can offer. Does it?

Here's the prompt that I ran for this test:

"You are an experienced book reviewer. You write concisely and without jargon or filler words. Create a table listing out the main characters in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen with these 2 columns: “Character name”, “Summary of personality”. You should limit the description of each character’s personality to no more than 30 words. Present the list of characters in order of importance (so with the most important character first), then underneath the table finish by explaining which character you like best, and why."

The results were impressive, and arrived pretty quickly (17 seconds):

All of the AI tools passed this test with flying colours, but DeepSeek is at least as good as the competition.
