Snapchat users are posting screenshots of their conversations with the AI, expressing surprise on the quality of replies.

Snapchat is the first major social media to integrate ChatGPT into its platform on a global level.

[{"selector":"#anim-095d999c-019c-4180-b026-ec8a4b68288f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(122.69504%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-56f75154-e902-430f-9802-c8e2a02cde3b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3834f95d-8c76-4514-89cc-81f9e01eea87","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The move comes more than a month after ChatGPT creator OpenAI opened up access to its chatbot to third-party businesses.

[{"selector":"#anim-9a70d642-9e3a-4a75-80b7-61e6dcddede2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(124.10071%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-290c90ad-8820-448d-a0ac-8f5c9f6257f2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7dc40c08-120e-4763-aff2-92e9b1076689","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Snap, Instacart and tutor app Quizlet were among the early partners experimenting with adding ChatGPT.
