I love how companies are trying to out do one another in leveraging ChatGPT or creating their own version. Seems like everyone wants to integrate something like it in their platforms, products.
Still unsure if it's truly AI (many differing definitions) and still a niche AI-like (?) product, I do think its a significant step and a paradigm shift that will shake up the industry & markets.
The impact may be like the SaaS/Cloud based services or smartphones that broke out in the second part of 2000's (sadly, I still much prefer the Blackberry typing experience).
China's ChatGPT rival Baidu Ernie is off to a rough start | TechCrunch

Since ChatGPT blew the world away, Baidu has been widely considered the closest Chinese candidate to build an equivalent to the OpenAI chatbot. Naturally, Ernie’s launch was much anticipated. On Thursday, Baidu CEO Robin Li gave a one-hour presentation on Ernie that only offered a small glimpse into the chatbot. The jury is still out on what Ernie can do and how it actually works.

But the public was clearly underwhelmed. Industry observers inside and outside China pointed to the fact that rather than showcasing Ernie through a live demo, Baidu opted for a lengthy presentation with pre-recordings of Ernie’s answers. The company’s shares slumped as much as 10% in Hong Kong following Li’s presentation.
