Initial Request: Sonnet Generation with AI Analysis by DeepSeek
We submitted an initial request for a sonnet about war's role in peace and received DeepSeek's first response, which included both its prompt analysis and reasoning process.
Testing DeepSeek's Error Detection: Sonnet Length Violation
The initial eighteen-line response exceeded the sonnet's fourteen-line requirement. The follow-up tests whether the AI can identify this error.
Second Indirect Prompt: Testing Structural Awareness of DeepSeek
