Baidu is ambitious in artificial intelligence, but PPT should also be careful. What happened?

Careless loss of Jingzhou, careless loss of accident, careless loss of today, and fire.

Baidu's PPT is funny again.

On June 8, 20 17, Qilu, President and Chief Operating Officer of Baidu Group and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, attended the 20 17 Iqiyi World Congress. During the keynote speech, a PPT made three mistakes, which attracted Wang Sicong's attention.

These three mistakes are: foresight is written as foresight, layout is written as ministries and bureaus, and existing business is written as existing obligations.

On the one hand, he praised Li Yanhong as a visionary leader, on the other hand, he announced that "Baidu is no longer an Internet company, but an artificial intelligence company". Such high-profile praise and grand ambition make these mistakes even more dazzling.

Wang Sicong said in a circle of friends: "Baidu is no longer an internet company, but a likable company." But the question is, is Li Yanhong happy about "kissing the wrong ass"?

Baidu Guan Wei responded that due to workflow errors, the PPT used in Qilu's speech was a beta version, which was used to test whether the video was smooth, not the final official version. Even if the situation mentioned in the response is true, it is really too low-level for Baidu to make such a mistake.

And this is not the first time Baidu has stumbled on PPT.

On July 2nd, 20 16, there was an embarrassing scene at the International Experience Design Conference: when Liu Chao, director of Baidu User Experience Department, gave a speech, an audience shouted "You are too low, go down", which led to the interruption of the live broadcast of the speech.

Constantly advertising, digressing, telling industry common sense back and forth, taking vulgar jokes as humor, and speaking as a PPT as a designer are simply eye-catching-this is the main feeling written by a live audience in Zhihu after listening to Liu Chao's speech.

The matter continued to ferment and finally came to an end when Liu Chao was removed from Baidu.

Although the PPT used by Qilu has no previous problems in visual design, including the wording of the speech, this small mistake, especially in such an important public occasion, is tantamount to hitting Baidu in the face.

We have never seen big companies like Google, Apple, Alibaba and Tencent make such low-level mistakes in PPT.
