Snapchat Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Chatbot to Its App

My AI is customizable, allowing users to give it a name and change the wallpaper for their chat sessions. The chatbot is designed to help users organize their social life and boost their Snapchat experience. It can assist with activities such as planning a hiking trip, recommending birthday gifts, suggesting dinner recipes, and even writing a haiku about cheese for a cheddar-obsessed friend.

Snap has acknowledged that My AI is prone to making mistakes and may say something unintended, so users can submit feedback by pressing and holding on any message to improve its behavior. All conversations with My AI will be stored and reviewed to enhance the product experience, raising privacy concerns among users.

While the introduction of chatbots into social media and messaging apps may bring convenience to users, it also raises questions about privacy and the reliability of AI chatbots. With the likes of Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and TikTok potentially integrating similar technology into their apps, Snapchat’s implementation of My AI may provide a glimpse into the future of chatbots in the social media space.
