AI feels like it’s taking over the world, and now it’s coming to one of the most popular social media platforms. TikTok is reportedly adding an AI chatbot to its app. “Being at the forefront of innovation is core to building the TikTok experience, and we’re always exploring new technologies that add value to our community,” TikTok told TechCrunch. The chatbot is a sort of amalgamation of TikTok’s search function and its scarily-accurate recommendation algorithm on the For You page. TikTok is not the only social media platform hopping on the chatbot bandwagon: Snapchat revealed an AI chatbot called MyAI in February.
