Existing literature predominantly focuses on ChatGPT in tertiary education, leaving a research gap regarding DeepSeek's usage among undergraduate students in Hong Kong. This study employs the theoretical framework of 'Philosophers of Technology' as a guiding lens. The methodology involves a modified technolinguistic biography. This study has modified the original biography for AI-situated literacy studies and conducted the AI-technobiography in interview format. This study aims to investigate: 1) how Hong Kong undergraduate students use DeepSeek in their studies, ifat all, and 2) the impacts of DeepSeek on the studies of Hong Kong undergraduate students. Findings show that: 1) students deploy DeepSeek to facilitate essay writing, look for definitions of academic jargon, and summarize course readings; and 2) the emergence of DeepSeek has sparked opportunities for them to reflect upon the ethical implications of generative AI. This study enhances the original theoretical framework of\"Philosophers of Technology\" by advocating a new category: \"youth/students as philosophers-practitioners.\" The study modifies the ethnographic approach and demonstrates the viability of adapting and deploying ethnographic methods originally designated for digital literacy studies into AI-mediated literacy studies.  \nContribution/ Originality: This study contributes to the existing literature by investigating the underexplored use of DeepSeek among Hong Kong undergraduate students. Employing a modified technolinguistic biography, it offers a novel methodological approach and enhances the \"Philosophers of Technology\" framework, introducing\"youth/students as philosophers-practitioners\" to reflect the ethical implications of generative AI.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nThis study investigates Hong Kong undergraduate students' use of generative AI in their studies. Since late November 2022, OpenAI’s release of generative AI ChatGPT has extensively impacted different aspects of society, including higher education (Cheng & Yim, 2024) . OpenAI's Chinese counterpart, DeepSeek, released its latest AI model, 'DeepSeek-R1', in January 2025. While there is existing literature on ChatGPT and its relation to tertiary education settings (e.g., (Abbas, Jam, & Khan, 2024; Chan & Hu, 2023; Cheng & Yim, 2024)) for research with a Hong Kong focus, there is a dearth of research on undergraduate students' use of DeepSeek in their studies, particularly within the context of Hong Kong. This study fills the existing research gap.  \nThe present study is inspired by Higgs and Stornaiuolo (2024) \"Being Human in the Age of Generative AI: Young People's Ethical Concerns about Writing and Living with Machines\" and draws upon their insights. The same theoretical framework “Philosophers of technology” was applied as Higgs and Stornaiuolo (2024) did in their studies. This paper  \nalso taxonomizes the codebook similarly to how they did in their studies (refer to sections 2: literature r","cbCainyqA9MyqnYU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainyqA9MyqnYU","pdf",286444,16,"English","# ABSTRACT\n# 1.
