Apple vs Baidu: Chinese search engine giant Baidu has filed a lawsuit against app developers and Apple over fake copies of its ChatGPT rival Ernie bot. The Chinese company claims that fake apps are available on Apple's App Store for Ernie Bot. Baidu said in its case that it had filed a case with the Beijing Haidian People's Court against the developers behind its Ernie bot and Apple company's fake app.
According to a statement posted by Baidu on the official Baidu AI WeChat account, Ernie currently does not have an official app. The company has also posted a photo of its court filing.
