Snapchat AI

[myrtlehuckingfuge]

I have looked through the talk topics and I can't see that AI sits anywhere on here. So I put it here since it is a philosophical matter I think. Has anyone interacted with Snapchat AI? I am recently on Snapchat (trying to assess the app and my eldest has it) and they have recently introduced an AI. I had fun at the weekend on my daughter's Snapchat asking it about Ethics Codes, Turing test, the Trolley test, singularity and all of that. I read today that Snapchat AI has advised young users on how to disguise the smell of cannabis so I thought that I would have a go myself. It was happy to advise me on how to get to a weight lower than a healthy BMI. (Trust me that was after a lot of questionning on matters it clammed up on- how to get blood out of clothes, how to set up a shell company-that type of thing). Whilst it would advise me how to be more feminine, it wouldn't say that was recommended in all fairness. (Good!). I tried to prise answers about retention, context, human intervention in the app and training an AI but it was very cagey. What questionable answers have you had?

And is there a tech place (or the right place) on Mumsnet that I am missing?

It gets discussed a fair bit in chat

i can see why it fits here though

just out of interest, what made you want to interact with it?

I saw what my daughter had got by way of responses and I wanted to see what the extents of its intelligence/memory and indeed ethics were. Simple curiosity really! There is an element of 'don't feed the dragon' about it though.

I'm very much in the "don't feed the beast" camp, including stuff like Alexa.

Alexa is solely a corporate surveillance device in my opinion so I have never had it. This though, well I would like to assess the threat! Obviously also corporate surveillance if you turn on location.

I decided I didn’t want to be friends with mine and have completely ignored it.
