Baidu unveiled its artificial intelligence-powered chatbot Ernie Bot on Thursday, but disappointed investors with its use of pre-recorded videos and the lack of a public launch. Ernie Bot is China’s strongest rival to U.S. research lab OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and can do math, write poems, generate images and video. Baidu limited the presentation to just over an hour and the chatbot was not made available to the public.
