This article compares the capabilities of two AI-powered chatbots, Ernie Bot developed by Chinese tech giant Baidu and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The bots were tested on topics such as politics, economics, and celebrities. Ernie Bot was found to be better at providing up-to-date information, but it was limited by censorship when it came to political questions. ChatGPT, on the other hand, was better on Chinese politics but was limited by data only up until 2021.
