Ernie Bot Challenges ChatGPT as China’s Leading AI Chatbot

Ernie Bot Baidu’s AI chat service, has seen a record 1 million users in less than 24 hours since it was made publicly available at midnight Thursday. Fueled by excitement over what is seen by many as China’s main challenger to ChatGPT, users across the country have been able to access the product for the first time after it was approved for general use by the authorities. The ChatGPT-like tool responded to more than 33.4 million user queries within the first day, according to data revealed by the company.

Ernie Bot is powered by Baidu’s own large language model, which has been trained on a massive dataset of text and code. This allows the bot to generate human-like text responses to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, users can ask ERNIE Bot to write poems, translate languages, or even answer their questions about the world.

It remains to be seen whether Ernie Bot can dethrone ChatGPT as the leading AI chatbot in China. However, the bot’s early success suggests that it is a serious contender. With its strong capabilities and wide range of applications, Ernie Bot has the potential to become a major player in the Chinese AI market.
