With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, domestic AI models such as DeepSeek have attracted much attention. However, some businesses use the public's curiosity about AI to make improper profits and make huge profits by selling free resources and low-priced courses.
With the popularity of the domestic AI model DeepSeek, a group of speculators are taking advantage of users' curiosity about AI to make huge profits. Some media surveys have found that some merchants have made considerable profits by selling free DeepSeek installation packages and low-priced "monetization courses".
On a certain e-commerce platform, the DeepSeek installation package price ranges from 9.9 yuan to 19.9 yuan. One of the stores sold more than 200,000 copies, and even if calculated at the lowest price of 9.9 yuan, the revenue has exceeded 2 million yuan. However, the reporter's investigation found that these paid contents are actually public resources that can be obtained for free online.
In addition to installing packages, similar phenomena have also occurred in the field of knowledge payment. On the "Knowledge Planet" platform, a paid community called "Efficiently Make Small Money with DeepSeek" has attracted more than 6,000 members, each paying a 62 yuan entry fee, with a total income of more than 360,000 yuan. However, the so-called "money-making secrets" in the group are often just some basic operating tutorials.
What's more, some stock bloggers claim to use DeepSeek for automated trading analysis, attracting many investors to pay for advice. Some users reported that the so-called "monetization course" purchased for 99 yuan is limited to basic operations such as how to register an account.
Industry insiders pointed out: "Using DeepSeek can indeed improve work efficiency, but real skills require in-depth research, and it is impossible to learn it in just a few dozen yuan." Some comments compared the current phenomenon to the 19th century gold rush, "What really makes money is selling." The shoveler man."
At present, this type of low-price fraud is difficult for users to protect their rights due to the small amount, so market supervision needs to be intervened and regulated.
In the face of the AI boom, consumers need to remain rational, be wary of false marketing, and choose formal channels to obtain resources in order to truly benefit from technological progress.
