The service is an artificial intelligence virtual chatbot that will answer any of your burning questions or have a general conversation with you.
However, users noticed that My AI posted a random image that looked like a wall.
It also stopped responding to messages.
“As TF Snapchat ai posted earlier in his story I’m still confused this is so freaking creepy man I think I won’t be able to sleep tonight,” said one user.
“I won’t be able to sleep tonight until @Snapchat explains what the heck just happened,” commented another.
“There is absolutely no reason for AI to post a story.”
A third added: “Why did everyone on Snapchat post a photo on their story? That’s actually pretty scary.”
When trying to talk to My AI, the chatbot simply replied, “I’m sorry, I encountered a technical problem.”
In response to users on X – formerly known as Twitter – Snapchat said that “My AI” “had a temporary outage that is now resolved.”
Some users directly confronted My AI with the strange photo.
The chatbot replied, “I apologize if my white image caused concern.”
“It should be a harmless and light-hearted way to have fun on Snpachat.
“If this made you or anyone else uncomfortable, I’m really sorry.”
