Impact: Ernie Bot, China's advanced competition to Chat GPT

(By Infonegocios Miami) While OpenAI has ChatGPT, Microsoft flaunts Bing Chat, and Google showcases Bard, Baidu now enters the ring with Ernie Bot, the Chinese tech giant renowned for its online services and search capabilities, unveiling its highly anticipated AI-powered conversational chatbot to the world.

This recent milestone for Baidu comes after a bittersweet start in the sector. Rushing to keep up with market trends, Baidu introduced Ernie Bot in March, only to find that the product fell short of expectations.

From Disappointment to Over a Million Users

Rather than leaving a positive impression on investors, the Asian tech company's conversational chatbot raised numerous questions about its actual capabilities. There were no live demonstrations; instead, a series of pre-recorded videos were released.

In the showcased material, Ernie Bot theoretically competed with ChatGPT by engaging in various activities, such as holding conversations in Chinese (the only available language) and performing mathematical calculations.

Since then, Ernie Bot has been actively in development and restricted to a small group of users. This changed on Thursday with the global launch of the tool, providing access to anyone with a Chinese phone number.

Ernie Bot is accessible through a dedicated page on the Baidu platform, where users can register and start using it. It seamlessly integrates into Baidu's mobile search app, much like Microsoft's Bing.

Ernie Bot: A Powerful Language Model

Built on the foundations of the ERNIE 3.0 and PLATO language models, Ernie Bot promises to generate high-quality texts, summarize documents, answer questions, and even engage in conversation threads, allowing users to "feel its heart."

The Chinese company appears to aim for a touch of humanity with its chatbot. In addition to the mentioned features, Ernie Bot will expand its functionality with an add-on store expected to grow over time, a trend also seen in ChatGPT.

An intriguing feature offered by this alternative is the ability to generate images directly from text within the chat window. Simply describe what you want in words, and the application will take care of the rest.

Ernie Bot is also adopting a feedback mechanism similar to its competitors, at least according to Baidu's claims. User interactions will be collected and used to enhance the chatbot's performance.

Over a Million Users in Less Than 20 Hours

It's worth noting that before reaching 20 hours of global availability, Baidu's flagship product exceeded one million users, as reported by The Verge. Whether Ernie Bot will achieve the necessary success to change investor perceptions remains to be seen, but its rapid adoption by users is undoubtedly a promising start.

Un colapso del tribalismo fanático ideológico está atacando (y matando) a todo lo que se enfrente a la militancia de izquierda (¿Por qué?)

(Por una cocreación junto Ristretto, con Taylor-Molina-Alonso-Maurizio) Imagine que su cerebro tiene un interruptor tribal. Cuando se activa, su córtex prefrontal —sede del razonamiento— se apaga, y la amígdala —centro del miedo— toma el control. Este mecanismo, descrito por el neurocientífico Marco Iacoboni en "Mirroring People", es el arma secreta del populismo del siglo XXI.

Impacto mundial: ¿por qué acciones y oro marcan máximos históricos en un mundo que teme el alza de tasas? (cuando las malas noticias… son buenas)

(Por Taylor desde Silicon Beach) Los máximos históricos simultáneos de renta variable y oro no reflejan optimismo económico; al contrario: celebran el temor. En los mercados modernos, la probabilidad de recortes de tipos por parte de la Reserva Federal y otros bancos centrales convierte las noticias macroeconómicas negativas en catalizadores alcistas. Paradójicamente hay mucho de positivo en todo esto, y no.
