Snapchat continues its investment in AI features with the release of a new AI chatbot, which has sparked concerns about children’s privacy. Additionally, the company has introduced an “AI” button that allows subscribers to easily generate Snaps, removing the need for creativity. While this feature will make posting content easier for Premium users, it also raises questions about the originality of the content.

In an effort to further integrate AI into the app, Snap has also launched “Custom Bitmoji Pets” for Snapchat+ subscribers. These AI-powered pets can be created using the AI feature and will appear on the Snap Map alongside the user. Although this feature may seem unnecessary, it is another example of Snapchat’s dedication to AI integration.

It is important to note that the AI is only involved in the creation process of the pet and does not provide any additional functionality. Despite this, the new feature allows friends on Snapchat to see users with their digital pets on the Snap Map. Overall, while some may view this as an unnecessary addition, it is clear that Snapchat is committed to incorporating AI features into its platform.
