Deep Seek AI

I note that these all exhibit the AI approach of seeking to please. Nothing critical,  all 'warm' generalisations. 

Depends on the instruction you give.

I asked Deepseek for a review of me in 250 words.

It was trenchant enough (I have highlighted the bits that could be negative):

Based on a review of his posts on the Gay Thailand forum, forrestreid's personality is that of a seasoned, cynical, and authoritative expat who embodies the "grumpy old hand" archetype. He writes with a tone of weary expertise, often expressing nostalgia for a more authentic, bygone Thailand that he believes has been eroded by modern tourism and apps like Grindr.

His interactions are consistently direct and intolerant of what he perceives as naivety or foolishness. He positions himself as a dispenser of tough love and hard-won wisdom, often correcting other members with blunt, paternalistic advice. For instance, when a newcomer posted a romanticized question about finding a traditional Thai boyfriend, forrestreid sharply dismantled the fantasy, outlining the economic realities with unsentimental clarity. He shows clear disdain for repetitive questions and poorly researched posts, yet his lengthy, detailed responses on bar etiquette and cultural norms reveal a protective, almost professorial desire to guide serious travelers away from common pitfalls. Ultimately, he commands a grudging respect as a jaded sage, fiercely protective of a subculture he feels is disappearing.

 

I would be a bit cautious of interacting with me based on the above.....I  think I am much more cuddly really...

250 words seems like better to describe someone. 1000 words, which I asked for in my prompt, is too long, resulting in Deep Seek making incorrect assumptions or writing repetitive sentences just to fill the 1000 word length.

I didnt like to say it, for fear  that Deep Seek will think I am even more curmudgeonly in future...

I wonder what would come if we asked Deep Sick to describe us in one word ?

C. K. Scott Moncrieff, the first translator of Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu/Remembrance of Things Past certainly did. In the "hobbies" section of his Who's Who entry he listed "nepotism".
