Baidu shares fall after Ernie AI chatbot demo disappoints
文心一言发布会不及预期，百度股价下跌
Chinese search company plays safe with pre-recorded launch of rival to ChatGPT
百度在其对标ChatGPT的人工智能聊天机器人文心一言的发布会上仅仅展示了一段预录视频，令人失望。
Shares of Baidu fell as much as 10 per cent on Thursday after the web search company showed only a pre-recorded video of its AI chatbot Ernie in the first public release of China’s answer to ChatGPT.The Beijing-based tech company has claimed Ernie will remake its business and for weeks talked up plans to incorporate generative artificial intelligence into its search engine and other products.
周四，百度(Baidu)股价一度下跌高达10%。此前，这家网络搜索公司在公开发布中国企业对标ChatGPT的首款产品时，仅展示了其人工智能聊天机器人文心一言(Ernie)的一段预录视频。
But on Thursday, millions of people tuning in to the event were left with little idea of whether Baidu’s chatbot could compete with ChatGPT.
这家总部位于北京的科技公司称文心一言将重塑其业务，并在过去几周里谈到了将生成式人工智能融入其搜索引擎和其他产品的计划。
During the highly publicised and eagerly anticipated news conference for Ernie, Baidu founder Robin Li stood beside an open chat screen, narrating questions that had earlier been typed into the chatbot. He admitted the company was only showing a demo of the technology that it had prepared earlier.
但周四，数以百万计观众观看了发布会，结果却对百度这款聊天机器人能否与ChatGPT竞争几乎毫无头绪。
