SNAPCHAT users have been left freaked out after the app’s My AI chatbot posted a mysterious Story last night.
Some were so petrified they said they’re unable to sleep.

The service is a virtual chatbot powered by artificial intelligence that will answer any of your burning questions or have a general chit chat with you.
But users noticed that My AI posted a random picture which looked like a wall.
It also stopped responding to messages.
“How TF did Snapchat ai post on its story earlier Im still confused this s**t is so f***en scary man I stg I’m not gonna be able to get sleep tonight,” one user said.
“I will not be able to sleep tonight until @Snapchat explains what the hell just happened,” another commented.
“ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR AI TO POST A STORY.”
A third added: “why did everyone’s snapchat ai post a photo on its story it’s actually quite scary.”
When attempting to speak to My AI, the chatbot simply responded: “Sorry, I encountered a technical issue.”

Responding to users on X – formerly known as Twitter – Snapchat said My AI “experienced a temporary outage that’s now resolved”.
Some users confronted My AI directly about the strange photo.
The chatbot responded: “I apologize if my white picture caused any concern.
“It was meant to be a harmless and lighthearted way to have fun on Snpachat.
“If it made you or anyone else feel uncomfortable, I’m truly sorry.”
