As the artificial intelligence renaissance continues, the latest player to join the ever-growing space is the popular social media and communication app Snapchat.
In a blog post on Monday, Snapchat shared that it was launching its own chatbot, called My AI, powered by the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT.
My AI will be available this week for Snapchat+ subscribers, but only as an “experimental feature,” the company shared.
Snapchat shared in its blog post that while the My AI tool will have several features, it is “prone to hallucination,” a term used to describe AI tools distributing false information in their responses.
Nonetheless, the feature will be customizable for users, as they can give the chatbot a name, as it can give advice on planning trips, recommendations for gifts, and even “suggest a recipe for dinner.”
Snapchat also warned users that the chatbot can “be tricked into saying just about anything.”
“Please be aware of its many deficiencies and sorry in advance! All conversations with My AI will be stored and may be reviewed to improve the product experience. Please do not share any secrets with My AI and do not rely on it for advice,” the company said.
At the beginning of this month, Google shared its plans to make its chatbot technology public after ChatGPT exploded in popularity.
Google has been testing an AI chatbot similar to ChatGPTs, which is powered by the company OpenAI. Google’s chatbot, named Bard, utilizes the company’s LaMDA technology, which is similar to what OpenAI uses, CNBC reported.
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, was not the only major tech company to pursue the success of OpenAI, as Microsoft also began pushing its chatbot powered by OpenAI through its Bing search engine.
As for Snapchat’s chatbot, users who have access are encouraged to press and hold on messages from the My AI tool if feedback needs to be submitted.
