Among the technology companies active in introducing artificial intelligence in their services there is also Snap.
The developer of Snapchat, an app still very popular among young people, has confirmed the arrival of My AI, a chatbot, an interactive program, based on ChatGpt that can be used by all Snapchat Plus subscribers. With about four dollars a month, users will be able to chat with a contact who will respond naturally even though they are an entity made only of bits.
"The idea is that in addition to talking to our friends and family every day, we'll be talking to AI every day," said Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, "and that's something we're well positioned to do as a messaging service." ".
My AI is a smartphone-optimized version of ChatGpt, trained by Snap employees on what they can and can't type, such as swearing replies, violence, sexually explicit content or opinions on political topics.
Furthermore, My AI cannot follow up on requests for the compilation of academic essays on various types of topics, as per the new guidelines of OpenAI, developer of the chatbot, after the software had been banned by many schools and universities precisely because it was used for writing papers.
Since this is an experimental launch, Snap is keen to clarify that all conversations held with My AI can be archived and subject to review, to improve the user experience.
“Please do not share any secrets with My AI or rely on her for advice,” Spiegel says.
