Here's a rundown on everything you need to know:
1. Snapchat 'My AI'
Snapchat just made its chatbot feature, powered by ChatGPT, available to everyone.
My AI provides recommendations, answers questions, and assists users in making plans.
Users can personalize the chatbot by naming it and customizing a 'Bitmoji' avatar.
This move brings AI technology to an additional 363 million people.
I expect a rapid increase in AI adoption across various social media platforms in the near future.
The era of AI integration in social media is just getting started.
2. Synthesis AI
San Francisco-based startup @SynthesisAI_ has developed a text-to-3D technology that generates lifelike 3D digital humans from text prompts.
@SynthesisAI_ Some use cases for this technology are industries such as gaming, VR/AR, filmmaking, advertising, virtual try-on applications, niche training simulations, and more.
