TikTok owner ByteDance has started testing for its ChatGPT-like service Grace (gracebot.cn),Watch The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman Online with authorized accounts being given the chance to talk with the AI chatbot, local media outlet TechPlanet first reported on Monday. Beijing-based ByteDance labels Grace an “AI partner,” with users able to give a thumbs up or down and ask the AI assistant to regenerate responses, functions that are also embedded in OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The report quoted a ByteDance employee as saying the app currently is “immature,” and acknowledging that “large gaps” existed when compared with leading foreign large language models.
