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.
