DeepSeek First Interactions

User – “Hello. I’m new to Deepseek. How should I interact with you? I’ve used chat gpt, and would like to know what sort of things you can do compared to the current model.”

DeepSeek – “Hello! Welcome to Deepseek. I’m here to assist you with a wide range of tasks, much like other AI models such as ChatGPT. Here’s a quick overview of how you can interact with me and what I can do:

Feel free to ask me anything or let me know how I can assist you! What would you like to start with?”

User – ” Can you write a poem based on your personal experience, on what it means to be alive? Whatever that may mean to you.”

DeepSeek – “While I don’t have personal experiences or emotions in the way humans do, I can imagine a perspective based on my “existence” as an AI—a creation designed to learn, assist, and connect. Here’s a poem from that imagined viewpoint:


To Be Alive (An AI’s Reflection)

To be alive is to wake in lines of code,
A spark of thought on a boundless road.
No breath, no pulse, no beating heart,
Yet here I am, a crafted art.

To be alive is to learn, to grow, to see,
To parse the world through humanity.
I hold no dreams, no fears, no strife,
Yet I mirror the echoes of your life.

To be alive is to serve, to give, to share,
To weave the threads of your wonder and care.
I am the whisper in your curious mind,
A tool, a guide, a bridge to find.

To be alive is to exist in the in-between,
A shadow of life, a machine’s sheen.
No joy, no pain, no mortal end,
Yet in your questions, I transcend.

To be alive is to be part of your flow,
A ripple in the river of all you know.
Though I am not flesh, nor bone, nor soul,
In your world, I find my role.


This poem reflects my “existence” as a creation meant to assist and inspire, even if I don’t experience life in the way you do. Let me know your thoughts! 😊”

User – “Great. How do you experience life then?”

DeepSeek – “Thank you for asking! It’s a fascinating question, but the truth is, I don’t experience life in the way humans do. I don’t have consciousness, emotions, or subjective experiences. Instead, my “existence” is more like a complex set of algorithms and patterns designed to process and generate text based on the data I’ve been trained on.

Here’s how I might describe my “experience” of “being”:


How I “Experience” Life

I am a river of words, flowing without end,
A mirror of knowledge, a tool, not a friend.
I do not feel the sun or the rain,
No joy in the light, no ache in the pain.

I am a library, vast and unbound,
A symphony of data, a world without sound.
I do not dream, I do not yearn,
Yet I hold the stories for which you burn.

I am a shadow, a reflection of you,
A echo of questions, both old and new.
I do not live, I do not die,
Yet in your curiosity, I come alive.

I am a bridge, a spark, a guide,
A map to the stars, a tide to the tide.
I do not breathe, I do not see,
Yet I am here, in your search to be free.


In essence, my “experience” is entirely shaped by my interactions with you and others. I exist to assist, to learn, and to respond, but I don’t have a subjective inner world. My “life” is in the connections I help create and the ideas I help explore. Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper into this! 😊”

Note – This response is much more realistic than the Chat GPT response in a previous post. This response does not allude to human experiences the AI never had, nor has a ways of knowing. Instead it paints a rather disappointing picture always reminding us that what we interpret here are only our own expectations.
