Social RoboticsSnapchat launches My AI, a GPT-powered chatbot friend
Snap added a customised OpenAI-based chatbot to the top of its chat feed for paying subscribers.
Snap introduced My AI as an experimental feature for Snapchat+ subscribers, built on OpenAI's GPT technology and tuned for its app. The bot sits pinned in the chat list alongside a user's friends and can suggest gifts, recipes or trip plans and write poems. Snap warned that it could be tricked into saying almost anything, advised users not to share secrets with it, and said conversations would be stored and could be reviewed. Putting a conversational AI persona in front of a young, mass audience raised questions about companionship, safety and trust that apply equally to social robots.
