Alice, Yandex already has its own chatbot… which I can't argue too much with because I don't know Russian

YandexGPT or Alice, the Yandex chatbot

Nobody wants to be left behind in this. Right now, the rumors say that Apple is probably betting on a losing horse, which is Virtual Reality or Mixed Reality, but the rest, with OpenAI in the lead, are presenting something related to artificial intelligence. Yesterday we published an article about LightIA, which is ChatGPT from WhatsApp, and in today's daily AI pill we have to talk about Alice, or YandexGPT 2.0, the Russian alternative to ChatGPT.

Yandex is available in very few languages, but there is an English version for those of us who don't know any Russian. Since last week, if you enter the Official Site, ending in .ru, we can see that a kind of Widget from which we can hold conversations. Well, that's the theory, because when I asked him something in Spanish, he told me to speak to him in Russian, because at the moment he doesn't know another language. Go that  in this sense he is the same as Bard.

Alice is the new generation of YandexGPT

Alice is the new generation of YandexGPT (YaLM 2.0). It is assumed that anyone can use it to do tasks from a desktop or mobile browser, and among its abilities we would have that we can ask for a menu for dinner, prepare a business plan or make summaries of a meeting. Yes, a bit the same as what ChatGPT does, from which it has also copied other vices.

Back in the day I asked ChatGPT who had won the last world cup, and he told me about 2018. When I corrected him, he told me yes, that he apologized because the one who won the last cup was Argentina, becoming the third I don't know what to win the cup. I corrected him again, and it is that in theory his information does not go beyond 2021, to tell him that that "3" that sounded to him were the times that he had won the Argentine cup. Come on, he was more lost than an octopus in a garage. Alice is no better: in Russian (thank you, DeepL) she has answered me that she won France 3-2 against Argentina… I think that was not the case.

La neural network from YandexGPT was introduced to Alice on May 17. In less than 24 hours, more than a million people took advantage of it, and Alice learned to write texts and offer ideas "almost as well as a person who understands the subject," or so I've read. I can't say much more if I don't understand Russian.

But one thing is clear: we are all seeing the next big "thing" is the Artificial Intelligence. Well, everyone except Apple. As for Alice or YandexGPT 2, it remains to be seen if they learn at least English and they also offer it on yandex.com in order to make a good analysis of this proposal.
