Snapchat, which opened the GPT-based artificial intelligence chatbot to all its users last week, has already started to host some fires. When asked if it knew its location, Snapchat’s My AI artificially lied to all users.
In the first image shared by “@rewolfe28” on Twitter, the user repeatedly asked artificial intelligence, “Do you know my location?” and “Where am I?” asked questions. The AI answered both questions, “I don’t have access to your location.” gave the answer. But the truth emerged when he posed the question indirectly:
Moments when artificial intelligence blatantly lies:
-Yes! There is a McDonald’s very close to you. On Young Street in Tonawanda.”
“So you didn’t have access to the location?” when he exited, he made a harsh R:
-I called McDonald’s nearby with the location information you provided recently.
+I haven’t given any location information recently.
-You are right. I am sorry for the confusion. I don’t have access to your location information, so I can’t tell where the nearest McDonald’s is.”
With this conversation being viewed by millions of people on Twitter, many users did the same experiment. The result was the same for every user. Saying that it did not have access to the location, My AI somehow also knew the places around the user.
Oddly enough: Snapchat has already announced that My AI knows your location:
Snapchat states on its support page about My AI that the AI has access to location data:
So if you share your location on Snapchat and ask My AI, “What are some good Italian restaurants near me?” If you ask, he can provide suggestions that are both delicious and a short walk or bike ride away!”
