Jokes aside, their engineers are actually solid. People dismiss them because they sell cheap junk, but at the scale they operate, they’ve got serious AI talent working behind the scenes.
The US doesn’t ‘own’ any AI models, private companies do. Unless you’re saying the government owns everything these companies produce… which sounds kind of like China’s system.

From a European perspective, it honestly looks more like big tech owns the US government than the other way around.

In a way, the US does control these models, because companies can’t sell them to whoever they want. AI, like GPUs, is treated as highly sensitive tech. So calling it ‘US AI’ isn’t completely wrong.
Ask DeepSeek why Xi is called Winnie the Pooh—it won’t answer. Ask it about China’s biggest controversies—it’ll give some vague response.
So yeah, their models are powerful, but they come with CCP-approved ‘truth.’ Western AI models at least try to be objective about all countries, not just the ones they don’t like.
I don’t see the hype. Anything built in China is ultimately controlled by the CCP, meaning the US and allies won’t touch it for anything serious.
It’s also not investable—no one is dumping NVDA stock to buy DeepSeek. The market overreacts to every little thing, but this doesn’t actually change anything.
