Chatbot, meet Snapchat. Snap, the company behind the popular video sharing platform, is launching a chatbot called My AI that uses the latest version of OpenAI's ChatGPT.

"My AI can recommend birthday gift ideas for your BFF, plan a hiking trip for a long weekend, suggest a recipe for dinner, or even write a haiku about cheese for your cheddar-obsessed pal," Snap wrote in a blog post announcing the feature. 

Yet Snap also made sure to mention that AI-powered chatbots  are "prone to hallucination and can be tricked into saying just about anything."

"Please be aware of its many deficiencies and sorry in advance! All conversations with My AI will be stored and may be reviewed to improve the product experience. Please do not share any secrets with My AI and do not rely on it for advice."

The company added that, "while My AI is designed to avoid biased, incorrect, harmful, or misleading information, mistakes may occur. Please press and hold on any message from My AI to submit feedback." 

The feature will be available to Snapchat+ subscribers starting this week.
