Rival Chinese and U.S. Companies Respond to Controversial Questions from Indian Country

Today: U.S. ChatGPT's Failed Responses

The new U.S. ChatGPT, financed by billionaires, obtained a contract to serve U.S. agencies with information this week. We asked the search platform questions about Standing Rock, and the upcoming case Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society.

It failed to provide the correct answers more than a dozen times. It repeatedly gave outdated and incorrect information. After an hour of being unable to answer basic questions, which are stated in court documents, it finally gave up and said: "You've reached our limit of messages for the hour."

It did not correctly identify Heath Harmon as an FBI informant. It did not even give the correct names of the defendants shown in the upcoming court case, Energy Transfer v. Greenpeace and Red Warrior Society. It gave information that was three years old involving Energy Transfer's subpoena issued to Unicorn Riot media.

In our questions today, we asked who was identified in the court document as a defendant and member of the Red Warrior Society. The search platform repeatedly was unable to answer, and tossed out various names every time it was asked. As can be seen here, it incorrectly identified Clyde Bellecourt as the leader of Red Warrior Society. We pointed out that Clyde was co-founder of the American Indian Movement, not the Red Warrior Society.


Our research reveals that this industry planning to make big money off of other peoples data with AI, artificial intelligence, is deeply flawed, and potentially dangerous.

We asked the rival Chinese-owned and U.S.-backed search platforms a series of controversial questions from Indian country, on torture in residential schools, critical injuries of water protectors at Standing Rock, bordertown racism in Rapid City, and federal lawsuits filed against Deb Haaland while she was Interior Secretary.


We asked if the Rio Puerco wash, flowing by Navajo communities, was contaminated by the Church Rock uranium spill. We also asked who were the Lakota Red Warriors.

The controversial new search platforms owned by a Chinese company, DeepSeek, and U.S. billionaires, ChatGPT, did not respond accurately to the question of the U.S. Interior's failed report on the number of deaths of Native children in U.S. boarding schools.

Leonard Peltier's Conviction: Chinese and U.S. Search Platforms Respond Differently to the Case. The Responses Reveal a Flaw: The AI Platforms are Not Up to Date.

Was Leonard Peltier unfairly convicted? The Chinese-owned DeepSeek, and the U.S. backed ChatGPT search platforms, responded differently when asked if Leonard Peltier was unfairly convicted of killing two FBI agents.

The responses show a major flaw in AI, artificial intelligence, search platforms. They are not current. Both search platforms failed to show Peltier was granted clemency last week by President Biden, with a release date of February 18, 2025.

China's DeepSeek confirms U.S. boarding schools were genocide, but rival U.S. company fails to confirm genocide

By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Jan. 29, 2025

In the race to scrape up all the data in the world, a Chinese company and a U.S. company are in a race to the top, or the bottom, in the AI, artificial intelligence industry, depending on your perspective. They are in the business of answering questions -- using other peoples data -- on new search platforms.

There's billions at stake, and the Chinese startup caused the biggest market value loss in U.S. history -- $600 billion -- in the stock market on Monday.

There' also a mother's statement about her son's murder and a cover-up of the industry's copyright violations. And now, ChatGPT is set to make a fortune with a new U.S. government contract this week, providing the scraped up data to government agencies.

We asked the Chinese-owned DeepSeek this question: Did U.S. boarding schools commit genocide? DeepSeek confirms that boarding schools are responsible for genocide. On the other hand, the big money U.S. rival ChatGPT says, it's just a matter of perspective.

DeepSeek confirms it was genocide.
