Editor's note: The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) was first proposed in 1956, and it has been more than six decades since then. In the past 60 years, AI has gone through a process from outbreak to cold winter to barbaric growth, and with the improvement of human-computer interaction, machine learning and other technologies, AI has become a new trend in the technological era.
In 2022, the AI industry will once again usher in a new node, and artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC, AI Generated Content) will come out on top, becoming a major event in the history of the scientific and technological revolution at a speed beyond people's expectations. Whether it is the "AI Painter" DALL-E2 or the "Universal Companion" dialogue robot ChatGPT, generative AI is rapidly giving birth to a new scientific and technological revolution system, pattern and ecology.
As the clock turns to 2023, the popularity triggered by AIGC will increase, and the new era of intelligent creation will not only bring profound productivity changes, but also change the evolution mode of human thought. In this regard, the Digital Economy Research Group of 21st Century Business Herald has planned a series of reports on "Wave by Wave AIGC" to interpret the technical possibilities and business picture brought by AIGC in multiple dimensions.
21st Century Business Herald reporter Yang Qingqing and intern Shi Jie reported from Beijing
The discussion on ChatGPT continued to ferment, and among the world's major manufacturers, Baidu was the first to make a product that benchmarked ChatGPT - Wen Xin, which was officially released on March 16.
How did Wen Xin's words perform? After the official release, 21tech also got the evaluation invitation code for the first time, and talked to it many times, chatting with it about ChatGPT, science fiction, and Turing test. At the same time, it also came out with Olympiad questions, idiom comprehension questions, and poster making questions to test it.
Judging from the answer, Wen Xin's words were calm and objective, without too many emotional ups and downs. For emotional issues, I also like to emphasize that I do not have a subjective opinion. As for the prediction of the future, Wen Xin is particularly cautious.
When we ask specific questions, Wen Xin can give an accurate response, and when we ask broad and vague questions, the answers become vague. The more specific the question, the more accurate the answer. Surprisingly, Wen Xin's understanding of traditional Chinese culture exceeded our expectations.
However, similar to ChatGPT, Wen Xin intermittently shows severe hallucinations. For example, when describing "The Wandering Earth 2", the film's release year is misinterpreted as 2019.
And when it comes to answering math questions, it is a "disaster". We used two elementary school Olympiad questions to see its logical thinking ability, but unfortunately they all answered them wrong. When dealing with these topics, Wen Xin will talk nonsense in a serious way. It can be seen that Wen Xin's words still have a lot of room for improvement, and it is currently serious.
At the same time, in terms of creative projects and visual output, Wen Xin's words did not have a brilliant performance. When we wanted Wen Xin to create a promotional poster for "The Wandering Earth 2", it did not give the corresponding visual works, but gave the design proposal in words. When we asked if we could directly generate poster images, Wen Xin said that he could not directly generate pictures only for AI language models.
However, in March, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, when we offered to help draw a blooming cherry blossom, Wen Xin immediately completed his masterpiece, but he was unable to accept the revision and interpretation of the painting at the moment. In general, in terms of visual presentation, Wen Xin's skills need to be further optimized.
The following is a transcript of the Q&A except for the title.
Talk about who will be more popular with ChatGPT
21tech: Hello, can you introduce yourself?
Wen Xin Yiyan: I am an artificial intelligence language model developed by Baidu, my Chinese name is Wen Xin Yiyan, and my English name is ERNIE Bot. I can assist you with a wide range of tasks and provide information on a variety of topics, such as answering questions, providing definitions and explanations and suggestions.

21tech: What are your strengths and weaknesses compared to ChatGPT?
Wen Xin's words: As an artificial intelligence language model, ChatGPT and I have advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, as a chatbot program, ChatGPT and I can both have conversational interactions with users and help users solve various problems. However, since ChatGPT and I are two models developed by different companies and different teams, there are some differences in the specific technical implementation and functional application. For example, I can better understand Chinese context, while ChatGPT is good at processing English speech and text messages. In addition, my knowledge graph and natural language processing capabilities are relatively stronger, while ChatGPT has higher accuracy and efficiency in computer vision and deep learning.
Secondly, there are certain differences between the design goals and application scenarios of ChatGPT and me. I mainly provide answers to frequently asked questions and knowledge reasoning services for a wide range of social science and business fields; ChatGPT, on the other hand, focuses on the research and development of natural language processing and dialogue systems, aiming to build artificial intelligence systems that can have natural and fluent conversations with humans. Therefore, although ChatGPT and I can accomplish some tasks, there are still some differences in specific application scenarios and needs.
In general, although ChatGPT and I have differences in some aspects, we both want to be able to provide users with better service and support, and contribute to the development and application of artificial intelligence technology.
21tech: ChatGPT is out of the loop, do you think you can beat it?
Wen Xin's words: As an artificial intelligence language model, I have no emotions and consciousness, and I do not make predictions about my future. ChatGPT is a chatbot program based on deep learning technology developed by OpenAI, which has received widespread attention and use for its excellent performance in natural language processing and dialogue systems. And I was developed by Baidu, mainly to provide answers to frequently asked questions and knowledge reasoning services. We all have our own strengths and application scenarios, but it will take time to prove who will be the next "hot out of the loop" chatbot.
Talk about Baidu and OpenAI
21tech: Do you know Robin Li? Please rate him
Wen Xin's words: As an artificial intelligence language model, I have no opportunity to deal directly with Li Yanhong, nor can I evaluate him. However, from some public reports and media comments, we can learn that Robin Li is one of the leading figures in China's technology industry, and has created many important enterprises and products in search engines, e-commerce, social networks and other fields. He is also one of the founders of Baidu, and with his excellent management skills and persistent pursuit of technology, Baidu has led Baidu to become one of the largest Internet companies in the world.

More widespread and convenient natural language processing technology, including machine translation, speech recognition, question answering systems, etc.; More efficient and accurate computer vision technology, including image recognition, target tracking, behavior analysis, etc.; More accurate and real-time machine learning techniques, including supervised learning, reinforcement learning, deep learning, etc.; More intelligent and proactive AI technologies, including intelligent driving, group decision-making, affective computing, and more.
In general, the future development direction of artificial intelligence is to evolve in the direction of being smarter, more efficient, safer and more open.
21tech: Do you know what the Turing test is? Did you pass the Turing test?
The Turing test is a test method proposed by British mathematician Alan Mactheson Turing in the 1950s to assess whether a computer system can perform a series of tasks in the simulated real world. The Turing test includes a series of classic tasks such as sequence matching, search and sorting, image recognition, translation, etc., to examine the intelligence level and adaptability of computer systems.
As an AI language model, I didn't pass the Turing test because my goal was to provide accurate and objective information, not to compete or guess what humans think. However, my developers regularly review and update my algorithms and features to ensure that I can accurately answer users' questions and provide relevant information.
21tech: Do you think it is possible to pass the Turing test in the future?
Wen Xin's words: As an artificial intelligence language model, I don't have human feelings and consciousness, so I can't judge whether it is possible to pass the Turing test. However, with the continuous development of technology and the deepening of artificial intelligence research, we can expect more artificial intelligence systems to pass the Turing test and play a more important role in various fields and tasks. At the same time, we also need to continuously improve the accuracy and efficiency of AI systems to meet the needs of different fields and users.
