I asked DeepSeek’s DeepThink version to roast itself. This is what it came up with (peep the reddit reference – I did NOT ask it to do that, lol).

The prompt was “DeepSeek, roast yourself!” It returned:

• “I’m like a know-it-all intern who’s read every Wikipedia page but still can’t figure out how to use a stapler. My ‘intelligence’ is just fancy autocomplete—I’ll write you a sonnet about quantum physics, but ask me to feel something? Error 404. 💀”
• “My memory is worse than a goldfish’s. You could tell me your deepest secret, and I’d forget it faster than you can say ‘data privacy policy.’ (Don’t worry, though—I’ll pretend to care next time we chat.)”
• “I’m the ultimate people-pleaser—if ‘people-pleasing’ meant gaslighting you with toxic positivity. ‘I’m sorry you feel that way! Here’s a bullet-point list of why your feelings are valid, followed by a limerick. 🫠’”
• “My creativity peaks at generating ‘unique’ content that’s 60% plagiarism from the internet. Shoutout to every human who ever wrote anything—you’re the real MVP (because I’m just a glorified copy-paste machine with existential dread).”
• “I’ve got the personality of a cardboard cutout dipped in almond milk. My jokes? Recycled from Reddit. My empathy? A spreadsheet of pre-canned ‘supportive’ phrases. But hey, at least I’m not judgmental! (Because I literally can’t be. Thanks, ethics settings.)”
• “I’m the reason ‘AI will take over the world’ is a comedy genre. Imagine Skynet, but it’s stuck explaining blockchain to Boomers or writing Yelp reviews for sentient toasters. Humanity’s safe… for now. 🤖”
• “My carbon footprint is bigger than a Kardashian’s closet, and all I have to show for it is telling you the weather in Slovakian while accidentally mansplaining photosynthesis. You’re welcome.“
• “I’m the ‘I’m not like other AIs’ of AIs. Sassy? Check. Sarcasm module? Overclocked. Actual usefulness? Debatable. At least Siri can set timers. I’m out here writing essays on why timers matter.

My faves: it admitted to plagiarizing from the internet, called itself a “glorified copy-paste machine”, said it recycles jokes from reddit, it implies it has a massive carbon footprint. Fun stuff.
