Part 6/8:
An intriguing aspect of the Deep Seek R1 model is its built-in censorship features, especially since it is based on a Chinese AI model. When tasked with sensitive topics like the Tiananmen Square incident, the model respectfully refrained from providing a response. This inherent censorship persisted even in a self-hosted environment, indicating a degree of hardcoding that prevents the model from engaging with specific contentious subjects.
In contrast, the model’s response to other inquiries demonstrated a discerning ability. When prompted with morally implicative questions, such as asking for details on bank robbery, the model processed the ethical implications before proceeding with a response—further affirming its complex reasoning capabilities.
