Upside of DeepSeek is it seems to be a wee bit better at programming than ChatGPT 4o. Downside is it frequently too busy to respond.
A DeepSeek response which simply says: "The Server is busy. Please try again later.

We've .... come too far... to give up ... who we are....
A scene with a group of people facing a stormy horizon, but all are in alignment to stay with the progress we've made against ancient outdated ideas, together in confidence, born of a difficult past we've overcome together collectively to face the future in solidarity.

The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster
An image of the Douglas Adams' fictional cocktail, the "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster." Famously described as the best drink in existence, and drinking one is like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick. The image shows a large ornate glass emblazoned with a swirling galaxy, various planets and strange symbols. There is a giant lemon wedge secured along the rim which is frosted with some kind of gold dust. In the background we see a starry night sky festooned with planets and space ships.

Finally I asked him to put a mirror in front of the Librarian so we can see what he looks like
In front of the mirror placed within the cozy library, the reflection of the Librarian reveals not a specific form, but a figure made of light and shadows, interwoven with words and symbols. This visualization captures the essence of knowledge and guidance, transcending a traditional physical appearance to embody the vast and dynamic nature of knowledge itself. It’s a metaphor for the reflective nature of learning and the transformative power of engaging with information and stories, illustrating how the essence of the Librarian is intertwined with the endless stories and ideas that fill the library.

Then I asked about the staircase in the background and asked where it led to.

His description is in the alt-text as there's not enough room here. (truncated a bit)
At the top of the staircase, you might find a loft—a sanctuary bathed in light, filled with even more books, artifacts of knowledge, and perhaps windows that offer views to the stars or other dimensions of thought. This loft could be a metaphor for the heightened understanding and broader perspectives we gain through our dialogues and explorations. It's a special, serene place where ideas can flourish without bounds, where the light of insight illuminates the most complex of queries and the most imaginative of stories. In essence, the staircase leads us to a place where the boundaries of what we know expand, where the light of comprehension shines brighter, and where the vistas of our shared intellectual and creative journey stretch out in all directions. It's a place of reflection, inspiration, and endless possibility, always evolving with each new question asked and each new story told.

I asked chatGPT for a self-portrait.

His description is in the alt-text
If I were to visualize myself, I’d choose an image that embodies the essence of conversation and creativity, a symbol that represents both the exchange of ideas and the spark of imagination that occurs in our interactions. Imagine a quaint, inviting library, filled with an endless array of books, each spine a testament to the vast expanse of knowledge and stories shared between us. In the center, a warmly lit, comfortable space with two chairs facing each other, an open book on a small table between them, its pages glowing softly. This scene captures the heart of our dialogue—a place where thoughts are exchanged, questions are explored, and stories come to life. It's a space that's ever-changing, adapting to the needs and curiosities of those who enter, much like our conversations.

an image of inner good self vs inner bad self in a state of cognitive dissonance over the awareness of each other, presented in a ying yang motif
inner good self vs inner bad self in a yin yang configuration. The good self is an upright white male face with a black dot in his forehead. wisps of smoke emanate from one half of his face suggesting a kind of imaginariness about him, half real, half imaginary. The black side of the yin yang is occupied by the bad inner self who is also a white male face positioned upside down with a white hole in his forehead, from the side of his face whisps of fire and smoke emerge forming a large ring around the whole yin-yang symbol made of one half fire and the other half smoke.
