Snapchat is betting on artificial intelligence to offer users an even better experience. The platform has just released a chatbot based on the latest version of OpenAI ChatGPT.. According to Evan Spiegel, Snap’s CEO, AI-enabled chatbots will be increasingly present in people’s daily lives.

Betting on the potential of chatbots, Snapchat introduced “My AI”. Pinned to the app’s chat tab above chats with friends, Initially, the feature will only be available to Snapchat Plus subscribers, who will pay $3.99 per month.. However, Evan Spiegel, CEO of Snap, told The Verge that the goal is to make it available to all of Snapchat’s 750 million monthly users.

Evan Spiegel sees a future where people talk to virtual assistants every day the same way they talk to friends and family. “And that’s what we can do as a messaging service,” he says. With the launch of My AI on Snapchat, the executive believes the platform is taking a step in that direction.

While this is a fast mobile version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, My AI, Snapchat’s new chatbot, has some major differences. Snap’s chatbot has been trained to abide by the company’s trust and safety guidelines by avoiding responses with profanity, violence, sexually explicit content, or opinions on controversial topics such as politics.

Snap still wants to improve artificial intelligence

The Verge stated that, for example, when Snapchat’s artificial intelligence asks for academic work, it will “politely” decline the request. In any case, Snapchat emphasized that it will continue to work with the robot so that it can provide the best possible answers.

While ChatGPT is usually seen as a productivity tool, My AI, Snapchat’s new chatbot, treats generative AI more like a human. The chatbot profile is similar to any other Snapchat user, which suggests that My AI should be more of an in-app friend than a search engine.

The Asian press is reporting that there are restrictions on the use of ChatGPT in China.
Local authorities will notify companies not to use AI to provide services due to possible violations of information laws.
