Bhavish Aggarwal-led Krutrim AI chatbot has landed in yet another controversy after it chose an Ather Energy vehicle as the best electric scooter in India over its Ola rivals. Krutrim is a generative AI chatbot founded by the Ola CEO, which aims to give stiff competition to its bigger foreign rivals, including Google’s Gemini<\/a> and OpenAI’s ChatGPT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n A user on X (formerly Twitter) shared the controversial response from Krutrim when in response to a question on \u2018Which is the best electric scooter in India\u2019, the AI chatbot said that Ather’s 450X Gen 3 was best in its category and then went to give all the reasons for its answer.<\/p>\n Responding to the query, Krutrim wrote, \u201cBased on the information provided, the Ather 450X Gen 3 is considered the best electric scooter in India. It offers a premium experience with its top-notch ride quality, build, and overall performance. The Ather 450X comes with a 3.7kWh battery, providing a driving range of 146km and can be charged from 0-80% in 4 hours and 30 minutes. The top speed of the Ather 450X is 90kmph, going from 0-40kmph in 3.3 seconds.”<\/p>\n Notably, Krutrim had only recently made its ChatGPT rival bot dubbed the \u2018Krutrim Assistant\u2019 available to users via a public beta. The new chatbot can receive text prompts in 22 Indian languages and respond to the prompt in 10 languages like English, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n Shortly after its public rollout, Krutrim also found itself in a controversy when a user asked if the AI chatbot was based on OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 or GPT 4.0,<\/a> and Krutrim confirmed that its large language model was developed by OpenAI and was based on the GPT 3.5 version.<\/p>\n In response to the query on its language model, Krutrim wrote, \u201cI am a GPT-3.5 model, which is a large language model developed by OpenAI. GPT-3.5 is an improvement over its predecessor, GPT-3, and is part of the family of text-generating models known as transformer-based models. These models use a type of artificial neural network called a transformer, which allows them to generate text that is more context-aware and better suited for complex language tasks.”<\/p>\n \t<\/p>\n
