Snapchat says My AI chatbot's story post was a glitch
Snapchat's My AI chatbot posted an unintelligible one-second story to some users' story feeds and stopped responding to messages. Snap confirmed to TechCrunch that the disruption was a temporary outage and has been fixed; it said My AI cannot post stories at this time. Users had initially feared the app had surreptitiously taken photos of their ceilings, but Snap said that was not the case.
