Here’s the essence of the article in video format:.
Additional updates are being appended to the end of this narrative.
The following story, originally published on April 13, 2023, goes as follows:
Snapchat is a well-known social media platform used by people across the globe, frequently introducing new changes, features, and tweaks to its app and platform as requested by clients.
For instance, my AI chatbot, launched on Snapchat a few months back, is based on OpenAI’s GPT technology, which helps and assists users in organizing and planning to make their lives easier.
Things are anything but pleasant. Nevertheless, with the assistance of the AI functionality, individuals can effortlessly plan their weekend getaway or receive a recommendation for a recipe.
Update 3 (April 24, 2023)
According to recent user testing conducted on the platform, it appears that My Snapchat AI may have a political bias, as it is sensitive to several subjects and asks for users’ opinions. (IST: 05:35 pm)
Update 2 (April 21, 2023)
01:47 pm (IST): As per certain reports, the AI is currently not appearing for certain users (1,2,3).
Update 9 (May 15, 2023)
At 12:07 pm (IST), we noticed that the option AI MY had stopped displaying steps followed by some users as suggested by Snapchat to clear conversations.
It came again, a few days ago, and now there is no way to assist them in eliminating it. Currently, there are no ongoing discussions for an alternative option, and it seems to be fixed at the top of their chat once again.
I like how @Snapchat fix the problem by letting everyone have the option to unpin the Ai but yet now it’s the same problem again but it’s back and pinned at the top of my chat. That’s so irritating. Like what’s the reason to force something on your users if they don’t want it?

Snapchat users unable to unpin My AI from chat
Reports (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) suggest that there are claims stating that the top-pinned My AI bot in Snapchat chat can only be removed by those who have subscribed to Snapchat+. Several Snapchat users have expressed their inability to unpin it.
Many users on the platform feel discriminated against and excluded. In order to get rid of this annoyance and feel included, it is not surprising that many do not want to purchase an additional subscription.
The individuals impacted have now resorted to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction and request a possibility to eliminate the automated program.
