Get the answers with SCMP Knowledge, our new platform of curated content with explainers, FAQs, analyses and infographics brought to you by our award-winning team.\nThere were more than 877,000 potential users on a wait-list for the AI chatbot as of Monday afternoon, according to Ernie Bot's official website, while more than 100,000 companies have applied for an API, the company said.\nBaidu is the first major Chinese tech company to reveal a competitor to ChatGPT, the OpenAI chatbot that has made headlines across the world since its launch in November. It is not officially available in China, although some users have tapped VPNs to access the bot.\nA comparative test of Ernie Bot and ChatGPT by the Post showed mixed results when tackling questions about China.\nWhen asked to introduce the South China Morning Post, Ernie Bot said it is a Chinese language newspaper founded as a joint venture by AsiaSat and Dow Jones in 1995, none of which is factually correct.\nIn contrast, ChatGPT correctly answered that the publication, an English newspaper in Hong Kong, was established in 1903. But ChatGPT also mistakenly suggested that the Chinese news service of British newspaper The Guardian is a subsidiary of the Post.\nErnie Bot provided a brief overview when asked about Chinese political figures, the Post found. H\nowever the chatbot, which usually allows follow-up questions, asked users to \"start over with a different topic in a new conversation\" when the line included names like Chinese President Xi Jinping, newly-elected premier Li Qiang, Li's predecessor Li Keqiang and Mao Zedong, who led the Communist Party to found the People's Republic of China.\nIn comparison, ChatGPT correctly introduced those politicians and allowed longer follow-up questions.\nBaidu did not immediately respond to a request for comment about this issue.\nBaidu chief executive Robin Li Yanhong said last week that based on his experience, \"I can't say it [Ernie Bot] is perfect\".\nBaidu shares initially fell by as much as 10 per cent in Hong Kong during last Thursday's debut of Ernie Bot, after a pre-recorded demonstration of the technology was deemed lacklustre. The stock has since revived, with a 15 per cent gain over the past two trading days as reviews have turned more positive.\nCompared with GPT-4, OpenAI's latest large language model, Baidu's technology does better when translating English into Chinese, according to tech blogger Web3SkyCity. Ernie Bot is also able to provide real-time information, while ChatGPT is limited to data through to 2021, according to news portal Sina.\nAnother blogger using the handle BusinessAlert compared Ernie Bot with Bing, the Microsoft search engine that now allows some users to interact with it using GPT-4.\nThe blogger found that, unlike Bing, Baidu's bot failed to recognise questions that were follow-ups to a previous discussion on superconductivity.\nBaidu shares closed up 0.91 per cent to HK$143.50 (US$18.30) in Hong Kong on Monday.\nThis article originally appeared in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the most authoritative voice reporting on China and Asia for more than a century.
