How To Access Snapchat AI

Chatbot AI is definitely in its golden age.

Everywhere you look, artificial intelligence chatbots are springing up.

Chief of these is Open AI’s GPT-3 model upon which many other platforms such as Bing AI and Copy AI have been built.

And now, Snapchat joins the list of apps to integrate chatbot AI.

Snapchat has begun rolling out an AI chatbot (called My AI) that can write poems, and give witty replies, among many other things.

This chatbot built using GPT presents an interesting way to use Snapchat by making your conversations more personal.

What can Snapchat My AI do?

Generally, Snapchat My AI can respond you your text prompts just like chat GPT does.

You can use the chatbot to

• answer trivia questions
• generate gift ideas for anniversaries, birthdays etc.
• plan a holiday/weekend
• generate poems
• suggest food recipes

How to use Snapchat AI

As of now, My AI is available only to Snapchat+ subscribers.

Snapchat+ is the premium version of Snapchat that gives users access to pre-release features including customizable chat wallpapers, custom app icons, story rewatches and a special Snapchat+ badge.

To subscribe to Snapchat+

• Tap on your bitmoji, at the top left corner of the app

• Tap on Snapchat+

• On the SC+ page, you can either start a 1-week trial or go ahead to purchase a subscription right away.

The fee for a month is $3.99 (available for GHS 6.00) and a year’s subscription is $29.99.

Can you trust Snapchat AI?

Snapchat calls My AI an experimental feature, meaning there’s still a lot for developers to figure out to improve the chatbot.

As a result, the AI chatbot may provide anywhere from incorrect to borderline harmful content in response to your texts.

Due to these reasons, Snapchat advises not to generate sexual, self-harm or deceptive content with My AI.

Also, because the chatbot is still ‘on trial’ your conversations may be stored and reviewed by Snapchat.
