In this blog, I’ll be discussing OpenAI and the arrival of DeepSeek — the Chinese startup that has swiftly entered the scene and disrupted the AI landscape in ways that now feel irreversible. I’ll do so by first comparing similar prompt responses and then exploring what this might signal not just for OpenAI but for the broader generative AI industry.

First, a bit about me: I’m a doctoral candidate at the University of Waterloo, Canada, where I study computational rhetoric, specifically in the context of AI-powered design. My research focuses on the underlying computations that inform decision-making processes and how they are inherently rhetorical in nature. As part of this work, I’ve coined several terms, including algorithmic ethopoeia — which examines how AI itself is rhetorical — and ethotic heuristics, the subject of my upcoming book, which explores how we constrain AI’s ability to characterize humans based on their data. My perspective is also shaped by nearly 20 years as a design researcher and strategist, leading advanced design teams at three multinational companies.
