Baidu’s Ernie Bot is a chatbot that can be used to interact with customers on its platform. The bot can be activated by clicking on the three dots in the lower right-hand corner of Baidu’s home page and selecting “Ernie.” Once activated, users can talk to Ernie about anything they would like, and the bot will respond with quotations from experts or facts about various topics. Baidu says that Ernie is meant to help users find information faster and make easier decisions.
Ernie is confident and performs convincing natural dialogue. However, the AI remains a mystery to many. Regardless, Baidu executives are hyping Ernie as their next big thing in chatbot technology.
Based on the text, it seems like Ernie is a powerful and potentially valuable tool. TechGround would love to try it out and see what kinds of insights we can glean from using it. If you’re interested in getting on the waitlist for Ernie, please click here.
Ernie may have been the star of Baidu’s presentation on Thursday, but many in the industry feel the tech giant could have done a better job showcasing its new artificial intelligence assistant. Instead of using Ernie in a live demonstration, Baidu opted for a lengthy presentation with pre-recordings of Ernie’s responses. The company’s shares slumped as much as 10% in Hong Kong following Li’s presentation.
One of the benefits of Ernie is its ability to easily connect and chat with people from all over the world. Whether you’re looking for a friend or looking to find a job, Ernie can help. With its easy-to-use interface and global reach, Ernie is perfect for anyone looking for online entertainment and communication tools.
- Literature writing: The user asked Ernie for advice on writing a sequel to the celebrated sci-fi novel “The Three-Body Problem.”

- Logic and reasoning: Ernie was asked to solve the famous “chickens and rabbits” math puzzle.
- Chinese interpretation: Ernie was asked to define a traditional Chinese idiom and write a poem based on the phrase.
- Multi-modal generation: Ernie was given a question (“Which city is most suited for implementing smart transport?”) and asked to perform “multi-modal” tasks based on the initial prompt, such as reading the answer out in a Chinese dialect and generating an image based on the text.
Given the impressive advancements of OpenAI and its partner companies, it is no surprise that AI giants Baidu and Google are both vying for a leadership position in the space. However, Baidu’s carefully orchestrated reveal may not have been enough to impress investors, who were more impressed by Google’s recent advances in live demos. Whether this lack of confidence is due to haste or inexperience remains to be seen, but either way it could mean that Baidu has a lot of work to do if it wishes to catch up with its larger rivals.
In an interconnected world, where artificial intelligence (AI) plays a more and more important role, it is essential that we have a clear understanding of both the ethical and practical implications of its deployment. One concern is that AI could be used to unfairly advantages certain groups over others- for example, by propping up biased systems or algorithms. Mindverse CEO Fangbo Tao emphasises the need for transparency when it comes to how AI is being used, so that
ChatGPT is the domestic predecessor to ChatGPT, and has been released a little sooner than expected. This could be because of the pressure from ChatGPT’s influence, leading domestic large language model companies to release their products faster. Baidu was one of these companies, releasing theirs just under two months after ChatGPT.
The first step for the Baidu bot project is always the hardest, but they are very courageous in doing it. The other players in the chatbot market are starting to catch onto what Baidu is doing, and they will need to continue to show strength if they want to keep up.
