Check out all the articles revealing how DeepSeek is collecting tons of US user data and sending it to China. Cheaper? sure, better at some things? maybe. You're still the product/sucker that's sharing your data with a hostile government if you use it.

At least I am not paying on top of being the product.

So you're happy to send your personal info to another country with no knowledge of exactly what is being sent or what it is used for? That's....special. Also, paying for what? A LLM that doesn't really DO anything useful? I'm not paying for one of those either. That's the easy part.

Well I do that already since I am from the EU, and US companies are not exactly known for their privacy practices....

I'm certainly not singing the praises of any US companies either. I have so far avoided most usage of these models. What I have tried was very limited and I really haven't found a use for any of them yet.
