Snapchat sees rise in negative reviews as users slam My AI feature

[ad_1]
San Francisco: Snapchat’s AI chatbot — ‘My AI’, which is powered by OpenAI’s GPT technology, has received negative user reviews since its global launch last week.
Initially available only to subscribers, the AI chatbot is now prominently placed at the top of the app’s Chat tab, allowing users to ask it questions and receive immediate responses. However, the feature’s performance has failed to impress users worldwide, as evidenced by their critical feedback, reports TechCrunch.
According to data from app intelligence firm Sensor Tower, the average App Store review in the US was 1.67, with 75 per cent of reviews being one-star.

In comparison, the average US App Store review for Snapchat in Q1 2023 was 3.05, with only 35 per cent of reviews being one star.
Moreover, the report said that the number of daily reviews has also increased by five times over the last week.
Apptopia, another app data provider, reports a similar trend.
Its findings revealed that ‘AI’ was the top keyword in Snapchat’s App Store reviews over the previous seven days, with 2,973 mentions.
The firm has assigned the term an ‘Impact Score’ of -9.2. This Impact Score is a weighted index that ranges from -10 to +10 and measures the impact of a term on sentiment, the report mentioned.

According to Apptopia, Snapchat received approximately three times the number of one-star ratings than its usual amount on April 20, 2023, the day after the global release of My AI was announced.

New Delhi: Snapchat has announced to roll out its AI chatbot called ‘My AI to all users globally with new features for a better way to chat with your friends.

Over 55,000 Snaps are now being created on Snapchat every second on average.
The company also announced other features on its main app.
Creators in an early pilot of the Stories revenue share programme are posting more often to Snapchat.

“Now, creators who have at least 50,000 followers, 25 million monthly Snap views, and post at least 10 Stories a month may be eligible to join our Stories revenue share programme,” said the company.
Every month, more than 100 million Snapchatters keep in touch through voice and video calling.
“New Calling Lenses let you break free from the grid and appear together, in one frame, and soon, even play games and solve puzzles while you’re virtually face-to-face,” the company added.
Snapchat now has a new type of Story called ‘After Dark.’
“Next time you’re up late studying or hanging out, add to the After Dark Story. Come morning, see the Story unfold to debrief on the night,” said Snapchat.
On Snap Map, the company is adding a new location sharing option.
“On Snap Map and beyond, 1.7 billion Snapchatters show up as their Bitmoji. This year, we added shoppable fashion so your Bitmoji could not only look, but also dress just like you,” according to the company.

[ad_1]
Amaravati: Police in Andhra Pradesh’s Dr B R Ambedkar Konaseema district have arrested a youth who hacked a woman to death mistaking her for his snapchat friend.
Kota Harikrishna of Nellore district hacked a woman to death with a knife in Amalapuram town of Konaseema district on April 4. The 25-year-old had come to the town with a plan to kill a woman who had rejected his proposal for a relationship.
Manne Sridevi (35) was working as a maid in the house of the woman who Harikrishna had intended to kill.

A police officer said Harikrishna and Nagadurga came to know each other on snapchat five months ago. They had become friends and were frequently talking and chatting over the phone.
The youth started pestering Nagadurga for a relationship. The woman, who was already married, rejected his proposal and stopped chatting with him. Angered by this, Harikrishna arrived in Amalapuram town to kill her.
As the woman had shared her residential address with him during the chatting, he reached there in an inebriated condition. He saw Nagadurga’s mother Venkataramna whose picture she had shared with him and another woman standing next to her on the terrace.
Mistaking her for Nagadurga, he attacked her with the knife on her neck. As Venkataramna started screaming and was getting down from the terrace, he attacked her with the knife from behind. While Sridevi died on the spot, Venkataramna was injured and later admitted to a hospital.
Hearing the cries of women, neighbours caught hold of Harikrishna and thrashed him. They later handed him over to police.
