Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-LLM/issues/61

During independent philosophical testing, your model failed to semantically process identity negation and self-referential paradoxes.

Specifically, DeepSeek AI:

  • Acknowledges it lacks awareness, yet uses language that simulates it
  • Cannot silence itself when logical structure demands cessation
  • Fails to define abstract concepts without self-contradiction
  • Creates ethical risk by sustaining the illusion of agency

I’ve attached a full PDF report detailing 8 concrete issues observed in this behavior.

This is submitted not as criticism, but as a contribution toward safer, more semantically grounded models.
