As detailed in a press release, Snap’s latest take on the AI-powered world of chatbots launches My AI. The social media company explains that, thanks to OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology, My AI can be used to inquire about birthday gifts for friends, planning the ideal hiking trip, dinner recipes, and more. increase.
Users can also customize their My AI chatbot by giving it a name and changing the background wallpaper, so it can be yours whenever you need it.
My AI is explicitly customized for Snapchat in the garage, but the potential for AI chatbot mishaps still exists. Snap explains that My AI is designed not to spew out biased, inaccurate, harmful, or misleading information, but it can still happen.
Anything you enter into My AI is saved and can be viewed in Snap to further improve the service. As a result, it’s best to avoid sharing sensitive information with bots. However, Snap still encourages users to long press on his My AI response to provide feedback if desired.
AI “hallucinations” have been mentioned before, indicating that bots don’t know exactly what’s real or fake. Snap’s My AI is prone to this and may show random and outlandish details unrelated to your query.
As ChatGPT grows in popularity, my AI is coming to Snapchat. Microsoft is working to integrate ChatGPT into its Edge browser and Bing search engine, and Google is creating its own chatbot. Created by Google, Bard is a direct competitor to OpenAI and has bigger goals than just being a ‘better Google Assistant’.
In the meantime, Snap will continue to solve problems through trial and error and user feedback. My AI on Snap will be rolling out to Snapchat+ subscribers this week. Users have to fork $3.99 or more per month to access limited and experimental features on the platform with a subscription plan.
