DeepSeek’s “online classes” are rampant
Expert: Ordinary users don’t have to spend money to learn
DeepSeek became popular, and various so-called “training courses” related to it. Do I have to pay to learn artificial intelligence? How should consumers identify the numerous online courses?
Some consumers have found that most of the so-called training courses are made up of Internet information, and the quality of the course content is uneven, and they even just earn training fees in the name of “artificial intelligence.”
A “tutorial” claimed that the first batch of people had already used DeepSeek to make money. A female blogger demonstrated how to use DeepSeek to locate, batch publishing title copywriting and other self-media accounts, and increased advertising quotes by increasing fans. Earned nearly 50,000 yuan last month.
Opening major social platforms, there are endless related tutorials about DeepSeek, from how to use DeepSeek, to teaching how to use instruction sets and prompts to better command DeepSeek, to how to use DeepSeek to make money in e-commerce operations. Course prices range from a few yuan to several hundred yuan, and there are also special AI training camps. On some online shopping platforms, many merchants sell DeepSeek access tutorials under the concept of “local deployment”.
In this regard, Internet experts said that ordinary users do not need to buy so-called tutorials because DeepSeek no longer needs to polish the prompt words like before.Now all major mainstream AI can directly communicate with them in natural language.At the same time, experts also warned that no matter how powerful the functions of artificial intelligence are, there will inevitably be “illusions”-that is, content that seems reasonable but is actually wrong, so the content generated must be identified.
Similar situations such as “DeepSeek is popular and training classes are hot” are not uncommon. Behind this is both driven by market demand and some people are pursuing short-term interests. Consumers need to carefully examine the quality and cost performance of courses to avoid being misled by exaggerated publicity. Secondly, you can gain DeepSeek related knowledge and experience through self-study and participation in the open source community.

For the general public, it is necessary to be vigilant, and the key is to retain evidence;
For enterprises, it is recommended to proactively monitor online infringement and safeguard rights in accordance with the law.
At present, the rapid development of artificial intelligence represented by large models has brought new challenges to the legal protection of intellectual property rights. In recent years, regulations such as the “Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services”,”Regulations on the Management of Algorithm Recommendations for Internet Information Services” and “Regulations on the Management of Deep Synthesis of Internet Information Services” have been promulgated one after another. The purpose is to prevent various security risks caused by technology abuse and ensure Technological innovation and development comply with intellectual property standards and prevent abuse. While scientific and technological innovation, it is also necessary to strengthen legal supervision to provide guarantees for promoting the safe development of artificial intelligence.
