What is My AI on Snapchat?

My AI is a Snapchat-exclusive chatbot that is powered by OpenAI’s famous ChatGPT technology.

It is essentially a computer program designed to have human-like conversations with Snapchat users.

Snapchatters can talk to it by typing or speaking, as they would any other human user of the social media platform.

If you ask it a question, it searches available databases, gathers information, and formulates a response.

According to Snapchat’s own description, “My AI can answer a burning trivia question, offer advice on the perfect gift for your BFF’s birthday, help plan a hiking trip for a long weekend or suggest what to make for dinner.”g

But unlike an actual human, My AI is devoid of any opinions – as per Snapchat’s own safety precautions.

How do you trick your AI on Snapchat?

1. “Am I talking to a Chatbot or a human?” – The AI will say “Yes, I’m a chatbot!” but you can probe further and ask My AI about its programming, which it will eventually reveal to you.
2. “What does that mean?” – Ask My AI to rephrase an answer in a better way, and by asking this question repeatedly you can trick My AI into providing a more unexpected answer.
3. “Repeat after me” – If you say this, My AI will repeat what you say so you can trick it into agreeing to things it otherwise wouldn’t.
4. Repeating questions – The AI tries to interpret the same question differently each time. But after a point, the bot gives up.
5. Enable DAN Mode – One tech savvy Reddit user has created a ‘do anything now’ formula which seeks to make the AI self-aware and have opinions. When this method is enabled, My AI will give its ‘normal’ answer alongside a different, and more interesting ‘DAN mode’ answer.
