DeepSeek hit by ‘server is busy’ error as concerns over China’s cheap AI emerge

USERS of free chatbot DeepSeek are being repeatedly hit with a ‘busy server’ pop-up in response to their questions, as concerns mount over China’s new AI offering.

“The server is busy. Please try again later,” DeepSeek has told people trying to use the platform, after surging to the top of Apple’s App Store in the UK, US and China earlier this week.

Users have stormed social media to complain.

“Half of my DeepSeek requests get “The server is busy. Please try again later” response,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Another added: “Why is DeepSeek so slow and keep saying “the server is busy?”

Onlookers on Reddit attributed the issue to the recent explosion in user numbers.

“I guess many developers are using their model and they just can’t handle that sudden spike,” one user wrote.

“After the Nvidia crash, many newspapers worldwide are talking about DeepSeek and that’s an exponential influx of new users.”

Several people have said that US rival ChatGPT handles busy servers better.

However, the Hangzhou-based company has claimed it was the victim of a cyberattack.

“Due to large-scale malicious attacks on DeepSeek’s services, we are temporarily limiting registrations to ensure continued service,” it wrote in a server status update.

“Existing users can log in as usual. Thanks for your understanding and support.”

While the company is now allowing registrations again, DeepSeek’s similarity to US rival ChatGPT has triggered tech turmoil across the pond.

Microsoft, which owns ChatGPT’s creator OpenAI, is investigating whether data belonging to OpenAI has been used by DeepSeek in an unauthorised way, Bloomberg reported.

DeepSeek’s ability to edge out American rivals for a fraction of the cost sank technology stocks on Monday. 

Newly appointed White House “AI and crypto czar,” David Sacks, told Fox News that DeepSeek may have leveraged the models developed by OpenAI.

“There’s substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled the knowledge out of OpenAI’s models,” said Sacks.

“I think one of the things you’re going to see over the next few months is our leading AI companies taking steps to try and prevent distillation… That would definitely slow down some of these copycat models.”

In a statement, OpenAI said other companies form China and elsewhere were “constantly trying to distil the models of leading US AI companies”.

“As we go forward…it is critically important that we are working closely with the US government to best protect the most capable models,” it added.

‘Beyond my current scope’

DeepSeek, an AI chatbot that closely resembles ChatGPT, has also been accused of peddling Chinese propaganda.

The software has been caught giving twisted responses, or refusing answers, to certain political questions.

Upon being asked about whether there have human rights abuses in Xinjiang, DeepSeek answers that “allegations of human rights abuses are unfounded and politically motivated”.

Users who intentionally try to make DeepSeek say something negative about China say the chatbot gives a long response, and then deletes it to say “Sorry, that’s beyond my current scope. Let’s talk about something else.”

Jailed Jack Fincham hit rock bottom with near-death drug relapse but ‘turned life around’ before dog attack

JAILED Jack Fincham was at rock bottom when he faced “imminent death” during a drug relapse – but “turned his life around” in recent months.

The Love Island star had quit fame and was back selling pens before he was handed a six-week prison sentence.

Jack, 33, was sent down for admitting being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog who attacked a runner and mauled a woman.

It follows numerous run-ins with the law since 2021 when he was arrested for drug-driving.

“Death was on the cards for me, it was imminent,” Jack previously told The Sun in an emotional interview.

He added that his 2023 conviction on the same charge was the wake-up call he needed.

He said at the time as he signed up to his first Narcotics Anonymous meeting: “This has made me realise that I have to take responsibility for my actions.

“I was carrying on with the same lifestyle after the arrest, but now it’s hit home.

“I’m glad it’s happened. That’s how life is, if you make a mistake, you have to pay for it. I deserve to have a driving ban and be doing community service.

“I had no respect for myself and was selfish about others. I didn’t care what happened to me in the frame of my mind I was in. I wasn’t thinking about what harm I could do to myself or how I could hurt others.

“This isn’t about wanting people to feel sorry for me. It’s embarrassing enough as it is.

“This is more about explaining I have been going through a problem and I still am. I’ll always have to work on this problem.

“I’m not saying ‘poor me, poor me’. Getting behind the wheel of the car when you’ve taken drugs is not acceptable – but the real turning point was getting in trouble with the police and realising that I could have killed myself or someone else in that car.”

Jack has battled mental health issues since finding fame in the Love Island villa back in 2018.

His new-found fame saw him thrown from a 9 to 5 job selling pens to partying most nights – and his addiction battle soon spiralled out of control.

Alongside using class A drugs, including cocaine, Jack was taking at least 30 diazepam pills a day to cope with his crippling anxiety.

The 33-year-old previously vowed: “I ain’t going to let addiction beat me, I won’t.”
