Please, let’s not go all Skynet on this: ERNIE just isn’t that impressive up close
Baidu’s ERNIE chatbot, launched with great fanfare two weeks ago, has gone missing.
Baidu last week invited media, including The Register, to a Monday product launch at which it promised to reveal “a series of ERNIE Bot cloud services and application products.”
“Enterprises of different types can choose cloud services and products based on their own needs, enabling them to conveniently, quickly, and cost-effectively build their own models and applications,” we were told.
Baidu even provided a link to a Zoom session at which ERNIE’s tricks would be revealed.
