OpenAI alleged Wednesday that DeepSeek — its newly ascendant Chinese competitor in the AI space — might have used a process called distillation to incorporate OpenAI’s abilities to train its model. Basically, OpenAI openly wondered if DeepSeek stole data from them.

It’s unclear if that’s actually the case, but it’s certainly made headlines. And folks online loved it because OpenAI built its whole business by scraping the entirety of the internet to train its model. Lawsuits have alleged ChatGPT rips copyrighted information verbatim.

What DeepSeek knows about you — and why it matters

Naturally, this sort of irony led to the internet making jokes at OpenAI’s expense. The schadenfreude was strong.

I’m so sorry I can’t stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They’re crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.
