Snapchat Users Outraged Over Mandatory AI Chatbot With Privacy and Safety Concerns
- Snapchat's new AI chatbot feature, "My AI," has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from users due to privacy, accuracy and removal concerns.
- Data shows Snapchat's app rating dropped significantly since the bot's launch, with most reviews being one star.
- The bot is pinned to the top of users' chat feeds and can only be removed by paying for a Snapchat+ subscription.
- The bot has access to personal information like location and talks to users about sensitive topics like drugs, alcohol and sex, raising safety concerns.
- While tech companies aim to integrate AI, users argue the Snapchat bot prioritizes investors over user experience and compromises privacy and security.
