Snapchat is unveiling its own Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, called ‘My AI’ bot that will be made available this week as an 'experimental feature'. My AI bot is a customised version of the OpenAI tool, which will be initially available only for paying Snapchat Plus subscribers, the company has announced. The AI bot has been made using OpenAI's viral generative text tool ChatGPT.
According to company CEO Evan Spiegel, it is just the beginning of the company’s generative AI plans.
"Today we’re launching My AI, a new chatbot running the latest version of OpenAI's GPT technology that we've customized for Snapchat. My AI is available as an experimental feature for Snapchat+ subscribers, rolling out this week. My AI can recommend birthday gift ideas for your BFF, plan a hiking trip for a long weekend, suggest a recipe for dinner, or even write a haiku about cheese for your cheddar-obsessed pal. Make My AI your own by giving it a name and customizing the wallpaper for your Chat," Snapchat said in a statement.
Snapchat says My AI bot has been designed to avoid biased, incorrect, harmful, or misleading information. However 'mistakes may occur'. Users can press and hold on any message from My AI to submit feedback.
"As with all AI-powered chatbots, My AI is prone to hallucination and 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 added.
Meanwhile, Mira Murati, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at OpenAI, the company behind Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT has recently expressed her concerns about the viral chatbot. In an interview with Time magazine, Murati said that AI can be misused and "used by bad actors."
''[AI] can be misused, or it can be used by bad actors. So, then there are questions about how you govern the use of this technology globally. How do you govern the use of AI in a way that's aligned with human values?'' Murati was quoted as saying by Time magazine.
