Snapchat has launched an experimental artificial intelligence chatbot that leverages OpenAI's ChatGPT service. Some users have gained access to the new feature that is called "My AI" running on the latest version of GPT tech particularly customised for Snapchat.
My AI is being rolled out to Snapchat+ subscribers throughout this week. Announced in a blog post, Snap has only confirmed the rollout of this feature for Snapchat+ subscribers at the moment. It might or might not make its way to free users of the app.
In a blog post, Snap acknowledged that My AI might be susceptible to making mistakes in the beginning, but the company's goal is to avoid "biased, incorrect, harmful, or misleading information." As we've learned over the last couple of months, AI chatbots can be manipulated into answering divise questions.

To avoid that, Snap is asking early access users to give feedback on the bot as it becomes available. The company also plans to save all conversations to assess the chatbot. Based on this review and feedback therein, Snapchat will continue to improve the chatbot. This isn't a surprise, for all AI systems get better with more data, but they're also susceptible to factual errors and bias.
