DeepSeek vs ChatGPT: The best memes and jokes that are ruling the internet now

The world is gushing about DeepSeek, a Chinese-made artificial intelligence (AI) model, which has impressed AI experts, and led to US President Donald Trump calling it a 'wake-up call' for US companies.
In just a week, DeepSeek has become the most downloaded free app in the US, and this has undoubtedly caused turbulence amongst its expensive US rivals including Open AI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
Javier Aguirre, an AI researcher at Samsung Medical Center that he is ‘quite impressed’ with Deepseek.
“While coding, we usually try to explode AI chatbots to the limit to see their capabilities in assisting with coding. Today I had a really tricky and complex problem. Even chatGPT o1 was not able to reason enough to solve it. I gave a try to Deepseek and it solved it at once and straight to the point,” Aguirre said.
Elaborating further, the researcher noted:
