Snapchat does not want to stay away from the madness of generative AI and announced the launch his own chat bot based on ChatGPT. Near My AIwhich is now integrated into the social network for Snapchat Plus subscribers in the US.
From the platform, they described the bot as a kind of “personal companion” powered by artificial intelligence. This is an experimental feature at the moment, so it is expected to evolve and improve over the course of a few weeks.
Originally only available for a paid Snapchat Plus membership in North America, which currently costs $3.99 per month, intention is that My AI reach all users of the platform. However, it is still unknown when it will make the leap to a global launch.
You can say it’s new chat bot Snapchat is a “lite” version of ChatGPT in every way. My AI uses GPT-3.5the OpenAI natural language model, but its ability to provide answers was quite limited.
This was reported by the developers of the social network. edge that he cannot use slurs, generate sexually explicit content, or mention political issues. In addition, the tool may not be used to create academic contentso that users – in many cases teenagers – do not want to cheat with their school assignments.
Snapchat presents its version of ChatGPT as a “fun” variant capable of performing pretty innocent advice. From a birthday gift idea to a dinner recipe, to name a few. However, the company, led by Evan Spiegel, issued an important warning to users:

The repeated calls for judicious use of this feature are no coincidence, given that emotional manipulation through generative AI is a hot topic of debate these days.
But the Snapchat case is interesting because the first of the “big” social networks introduced OpenAI technology. Having taken this first step, it would not be unusual for other platforms in the sector to come up with similar offerings.
although today My AI is based on technology that brings ChatGPT to life, may be extended to other language models in the future. On Snapchat, they indicated that they plan to implement technology developed outside of OpenAI over time, although without specifying it.
