Snapchat recently announced new features powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology, which are now available to all users. My AI, the artificial intelligence chatbot, can now respond to messages with full AI-generated images. Through advancements in machine learning, AR experiences are created at a faster rate and look more realistic than ever before, improving the user experience. My AI can be added to group chats by mentioning it with an @ symbol, and users can personalize its look and name with a custom avatar. Additionally, My AI can recommend filters to use in the Snapchat camera and locations from the app’s map location service.
Snapchat Inc. ensures that My AI conversations are entirely safe with safety guidelines in place. If a user repeatedly asks inappropriate or harmful questions, their access to the chatbot may be temporarily restricted. Over 99.5% of the chatbot’s responses adhere to Snapchat’s community guidelines.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently spoke about the potential of artificial intelligence, calling it more “profound” than electricity, though he warned of its potential implications on the job market. Similarly, tech mogul Elon Musk has been vocal on AI, recently entering the transgender debate with a tweet advocating jail sentences for doctors and parents who “sterilize” their children.
Overall, with machine learning and its new AI features, Snapchat is aiming to improve its user experience and provide more personal camera options to the world. With safety regulations in place, the chatbot powered by OpenAI’s chatbot technology will certainly create some exciting creative possibilities for the community.
