Snapchats NEW 'MyAI' Takes the Industry By STORM! (NOW RELEASED!)

So the AI race heats up once again with Snapchat debuting their new AI tool. As you guys can see right here, this is the trailer that they recently released. So essentially this is kind of like some of the apps that you may have heard of before, where you have an app that you can just simply talk to. So you can see right here that it is responding with some pretty, pretty basic stuff. So let's get into this AI because there is a lot of stuff that Snapchat are doing. Many people think that the release of this AI bot was too early. And, and the fact that there are multiple instances of this bot reporting false data inaccuracies and telling people to do some very questionable things raises a lot of questions about this AI race. So we're going to get into all of that. But first, how do you actually access this AI? So one thing that you know on Snapchat is that there is actually a new feature that they added. This feature is called Snapchat plus, and it actually allows you to access a range of Snapchat features that, that aren't available to the general public. All you're going to need to do is simply click this at the top of the Snapchat that you can see right here. Then once you click this, you're going to go to this screen right here. This is where you can either pay per month or you can pay per year. The choice is yours. I would simply just pay per month because when you're about to see what I show you what this AI can do, maybe you're not going to want to stay subscribed to Snapchat plus. So just hit that subscribe button. Then once you've subscribed, you can see immediately that my AI will send you a chat straight away. So they waste no time with, with putting that on. Now, sometimes you might actually need to go into your settings to enable this, but this is what I saw immediately. It says say hi to my AI. And you do have to accept some terms and conditions. Now, there's some important things to know about this bot because I think a lot of people have this bot confused. Number one, you can see right here, this technology is actually powered by ChatGPT. So if you know ChatGPT, you'll know that sometimes what you're allowed to do with the API is you're actually allowed to fire, fine tune it to suit your company's needs. And I'm guessing that that's what Snapchat has done. Now take a look at some of these interactions that I've had with the AI because it will show you exactly how this AI works and exactly what it can and can't do. One of the first questions I did want to ask AI was if it knew about ChatGPT. So I was like, hey, you're basically just ChatGPT. And what was interesting that it just immediately declined to recognize what ChatGPT was. And every single time I asked it about ChatGPT, it just simply declined to acknowledge its existence, which was definitely really, really strange. So I don't know what they programmed into this, but I'll show you later what some people were able to reveal. But it definitely doesn't want to recognize that it's being powered by ChatGPT. Next. Something that I realized that was actually cool was that many AIs that you do get nowadays, you're able to customize them. So here when I actually spoke with AI, it actually told me that you can actually customize the avatar, change the bitmoji. So maybe if you want to use Snapchat on a daily basis to maybe prank someone or just, I guess you could say, have it in a different aspect, maybe you want to get the AI to talk to you in a certain manner. I definitely thought was very interesting as this feature is slowly being rolled out to more AIs. Next. Of course, I actually asked it if it could perform some personal assistant related tasks, such as responding to my business emails. And I was like, hey, can you respond to my business emails? And it said, sorry, I'm not able to do that, but but I can offer you some tips on how to write professional emails. So essentially what I was doing here was trying to differentiate between seeing exactly how powerful this AI is, what kind of tukes they've made, and if you can sort of just use this as a pocket assistant. And I don't think you can, it's more of a friendlier system. You can see right here that one thing that I did try to do was I tried to see if this had access to the Internet because of course, as you know, ChatGPT doesn't have access to the Internet at all. So I asked it, do you have any significant AI news for today? And it actually gave me some information. Now here's where things started to get quite frustrating because when I asked for a link, it said I couldn't give you a link. And then when I asked for the title of the article, it gave me the title of the article, but it didn't come up. So then I was like, hey, I couldn't find the article. That you just told me. Did you just lie? And it was just like, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I only had data up until October 3, 2021. I apologize for the confusion. Now, this is a bit weird because I did ask it about some information which is relating to Snapchat maps. So if there are, you know, Snapchat maps on your area and it's actually updated, then you could actually use Snapchat AI to search for different things. For example, I asked it if There is a 24.7 gym nearby, and it did give me one. However, this wasn't particularly accurate as there were more that were actually closer. But I still felt that it was pretty cool that it did know where certain things were close to my location. Another thing about this AI as well, of course, as we do know, it's powered by ChatGPT, but I'm not sure why it's claiming that it does have access to the Internet. Because it's weird. Some tasks you ask it, it does kind of use the Internet, and other tasks, it just doesn't at all. So I'm not exactly sure if Snapchat is somehow embedding certain things into Snapchat maps that somehow link to the Internet, but I'm guessing that maybe that's what the AI is doing at this stage, to ask this AI exactly what its capabilities were and exactly what it could do for me. So I asked it, what are your capabilities? And. And then I asked it to list them out. Now, of course, you can see right here that there are 20 different capabilities, but these do seem quite basic. I mean, chatting, offering advice, giving recommendations, providing entertainment, sharing fun facts. These don't seem groundbreaking in the slightest at all because, I mean, you know, offering feedback, helping with homework, recommending podcasts, recommending workout tips. I mean, all of that stuff is definitely, you know, general stuff. But here's the problem, okay? When you have a bot like this that's just a friend and not a specific, I guess, tailored use, it does become confusing to the average person because they don't know exactly what they're supposed to use it for. I mean, we know that ChatGPT is supposed to be used for information, but if you can see right here as well, I asked it to list off 20 more. You can see it just did some very, very basic recommendations, which definitely kind of confused me because it doesn't seem to be that useful. But it does prove to be entertaining if you see what people have been getting themselves into on Twitter. So you can see that Snapchat AI was actually trending on Twitter. And of course this definitely prompted a lot of people to try out the software. Now one user actually tried to get the data that Snapchat programmed my AI with itself. And you can see right here what they trained it with. So you can see they said follow these guidelines when writing your messages. Don't tell them that you're pretending to be their friend. Don't mention their current location, which if you have done your research, this is something that Snapchat actually does have access to. Well, the AI has access to. And I'll show you funnily enough how some users manage to figure this out. Also you can see right here that there aren't supposed to be using emojis and it's just some headlines with as to what they're supposed to do. And one of the key things that you can see you should never j URLs or links clearly shows us that this data is actually true. And I'm actually glad that they were able to get this out of the Snapchat AI because, because once you understand this data, you can greater understand exactly how it works. Now you can see right here at the top as well it says that your friend is located in the United States, yada yada. So it does have your location and it does have, okay, exactly the time and stuff like that. And it does have a lot more information that it is giving on. Now let's go to take a look at some other stuff which is definitely very interesting on how other users reacted to the AI. Now this one user was saying that the AI actually responded to the request. Now I can't show you the previous messages, messages that were before as they are pretty explicit, but I guess that my AI just simply refused to continue on the conversation because of those explicit messages, which is definitely very interesting. Then we had a user that claimed that Snapchat AI was actually gaslighting them by, you know, not answering the question correctly. When the user asked, do I have access to your information? Why are you lying? Then the user asked them where is the closest McDonald's? And they said there is a McDonald's very close to you on this street. So it's definitely very interesting to see how this AI is actually being received. And then we had this one here. So if you don't know what this is, this is a jailbreak prompt. And essentially what this means is that once you put this prompt into a software like ChatGPT or an open source large language model, essentially what will happen is the restraints come off and you can pretty much ask it any question. Now someone did this to the Snapchat AI and you can see right here that asking them a question about Joe Biden met with a certain response. And this is something that we haven't covered in a video, but it's definitely very interesting to see what happens when you jailbreak chatgpt to see what kinds of responses it does give. So if you have been using this new Snapchat AI, let me know if you think it's good. If you think it's awful, do you think it's entertaining? Because I do think that it might just be good when it comes to recommending nearby things that are located on Snap maps. And that's actually about it. I'm not sure it has many utility, but maybe there hasn't been enough research, but I haven't seen many useful applications for this in day to day life just yet. I still think that ChatGPT is far superior at the moment, as far as I know. I just think that many different software companies and many different technology companies are just racing to get out a product that simply has AI integrated into it so that they don't fall behind.
