Autopesquisa no DeepSeek: Paulo Roberto de Almeida; seguida de correção e agradecimento
Uma pesquisa feita sob meu nome numa ferramenta de AI mais de um ano atrás revelou muitos erros. Abandonei qualquer outra tentativa desde então.

No geral está correto e até elogioso. Mas tem pequenos erros:
1) “Born on August 20, 1954, in São Paulo”;
SP está correto, mas em 1954 eu já tinha 4 anos e a primeira lembrança que tenho da infância é justamente a comemoração do IV Centenário da fundação de SP, quando fui ao parque Ibirapuera levado por meu pai.
2) “His postings have included roles in Brussels…”
Não, nunca servi em Bruxelas como diplomata, mas vivi em Bruxelas como estudante (1971-77), durante meus anos de autoexílio no exterior, durante a ditadura militar no Brasil.
3) “His publications cover a wide range of topics, (…) “História Geral do Brasil”…
Não, nunca escrevi um tal livro, que é o de Varnhagen, sobre quem escrevi.
4) “Legacy and Influence
Paulo Roberto de Almeida's work has had a significant impact on both the academic study of international relations and the practice of diplomacy in Brazil.”
Exagero: não creio ter tido qualquer “impacto significativo” no estudo acadêmico ou na prática diplomática, e não me cabe avaliar qualquer legado meu nesses campos.
Preciso agora descobrir como corrigir o DeepSeek. Em todo caso, tenho de agradecer ao soft chinês pela sua consistência e rapidez na resposta. Não pretendo utilizá-lo para meus trabalhos; quando preciso verificar algum dado, costumo ir direto ao Google, mas posso mudar de ideia, se o DeepSeek se revelar confiável, o que ainda não parece ser o caso para Tibet, human rights in China e outros assuntos sensíveis para o grande Império do Meio.
