THE GREAT SNAP REBELLION OF 2023

A cascade of 1-star reviews bombarded Snapchat this past week. It’s all tied to the public launch of their new My AI chat feature.

The issue is not tied to the AI’s abilities. OpenAI is propping up the backend. So that’s not the problem.

The chief complaint is the product design and rash implementation.

Remember when U2 forced every iPhone user to download their album on Apple Music? The My AI rollout is following a similar course.

Snapchat+ users pay for benefits and expect to get tools like My AI. But the public users didn’t ask for this.

Snapchat users feel stuck.

You can’t unpin the conversation or delete it. Instead, it stays at the top of your screen like a smudge that won’t wipe off.

Unless you’re a plus user, they can customize and remove the feature from their feed.

I’m not a product manager, but that sounds like a sh*tty deal.

Moreover, AI shows people how much data companies have on them, reflecting that truth like a punch in the gut.

People found out that My AI knows their location and keeps track of their data. Of course, that’s been going on for years, but it can be unsettling when brought to the foreground.

Our data created these models, and we were feeding a creature we didn’t know about until it popped up on our Snap feed without permission.

No wonder people are upset.

COMPANIES NEED TO ADAPT TO AI OR RISK EXTINCTION

ChatGPT is a pressure cooker, and companies with similar benefits are starting to sweat.

The Information wrote a report yesterday that underlined a few industries where startups feel displaced by the AI wave.

The sectors they mention are:

1/ Text Editing Software

Grammarly and its ilk must adopt LLMs into their offering, or they will lose customers. It’s not a negotiation.

That’s why many of them—Grammarly included—switched to new business plans that include generative AI. Except most of those new features are powered by OpenAI’s API anyway.

2/ Customer Support & Comms. Software

Many old dogs in the customer service space use Large Language Models to help summarize emails, chats, etc. Except their models are basic af compared to ChatGPT.

Many companies are already working to integrate the best LLMs possible into their software, but is it too little or too late?

They’ll give up a lot of advantages by making these deals.

3/ Cybersecurity Tools

ChatGPT and GitHub’s Copilot can scan code for security deficiencies without charging you an arm and a leg. That’s nerve-wracking for a sector that’s made bank by being the only general store in town.

Unlike the other industries they mention, these startups can’t simply adopt ChatGPT and call it a day. The genie is out of the bottle, and their only solution is to offer more benefits to match the price point.

Human touch and specialized attention will carry the day.

What should you take away?

The speed at which ChatGPT and other generative AI tools consume tasks is discomforting. Confident CEOs of massive tech companies find themselves at square one or at the mercy of OpenAI’s API.

It’s only the beginning.

Adaptation to automation and streamlined advancements will matter more and more as innovation continues to increase its speed.

You know this. That’s why you’re here.
