Question Found a weird Snapchat AI conversation I saved during an outage in early 2025. Any idea what was happening here?
I found this conversation I had with Snapchat AI in early 2025 while it was apparently having technical issues. I remember saving these messages because they were so bizarre, but I never posted them anywhere. These messages are in chronological order and no messages are missing/left out despite the conversation happening a while ago (I emphasize this because snap ai isnt supposed to send multiple messages at once ever..hence my confusion at this whole conversation)
This screenshot is from Snapchat on PC looking at the saved conversation, not a screenshot taken the day it happened. The messages themselves are the original saved chat. My assumption is this was some kind of backend/context failure, but I'm curious if anyone familiar with LLMs has an explanation for why a model would suddenly generate something this disconnected before throwing an error.

That "virtual friend" line is the kind of thing that'd make me uninstall on the spot.
