Who is Deepseek? How does it compare to Gemini? And where on earth does my data go?!

So it’s been all over the news this week. Deepseek is here from China and is playing with the big boys in the AI game in an eyebrow-raising week in the tech world.

But who are they? Where did they come from? And what do they do with your data?

We dive into a short post comparing Deepseek to Gemini, to help you decide which AI solution is best for you.

Deepseek: Risky business or hidden gem?

Deepseek is like that new kid on the block with all the cool gadgets. It can do some amazing things, but you gotta be careful. Here’s the deal:

• Data privacy — a bit of a mystery: Deepseek collects your data, no doubt about it. They say they’re careful, but honestly, it’s a bit of a black box. And with the company being in China, where things are a bit different privacy-wise, it makes you wonder...
• Security hiccups: Deepseek has had some security issues lately, like people finding ways to “jailbreak” the system and even some cyberattacks. That’s not exactly a confidence booster, right?
• Transparency? Not so much: Trying to figure out what Deepseek does with your data is like navigating a maze in the dark. Their privacy policy is as clear as mud!

Gemini: Playing it safe with Google

Now, Gemini is like that reliable friend who always has your back. After all, it’s from Google, so you know they’re serious about security and doing things the right way.

• Your data is YOUR data: Gemini makes it clear that your data is yours, and they’re just borrowing it to help you out. They have strong security measures in place, so you can feel confident your data is safe and sound.
• Privacy is a priority: Google is all about privacy these days, and Gemini is no exception. They collect minimal data and are upfront about how they use it.
• No secrets here: Gemini is pretty open about how they handle security. They give you all the details, so you can make informed choices about your data.

So, which one should you trust?

Deepseek can be tempting with its fancy features, but let’s be real: security and privacy are no joke.

If you’re not comfortable with the unknowns, Gemini is the safer bet. It might not be as flashy, but it gets the job done and keeps your data secure.

At the end of the day, both Deepseek and Gemini have their strengths and weaknesses. It all comes down to what you value most: taking a risk for potentially cool features or playing it safe with a trusted name. Choose wisely, my friends!
