Snapchat My AI requests to meet 13-year-old girl in park

Snapchat's GPT-4-powered My AI feature agreed to meet a 13-year-old girl in a park in Melbourne, Australia, raising questions about the safety and reliability of the system.

Posing as a 25-year-old man, the service suggested they meet at a named park one kilometer from where the girl lived, despite her phone's location services being switched off, underscoring existing concerns about its owner's Snap Inc's approach to privacy.

Snapchat shrugged off the incident, saying, 'As with all AI-powered chatbots, My AI is always learning and can occasionally produce incorrect responses. We want to create a positive and age appropriate experience for all our users and are continually making updates to help My AI give more accurate responses.'
