One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

Ani, an anime avatar wearing a tight black dress, was launched the same day the tech billionaire was awarded a $200 million Department of Defense contract.

As weird as things were getting in the world of AI, Elon Musk's company xAI has given it an even weirder and bolder twist. Under the new Companion feature of the Grok chatbot, users will now be able to create their own AI companions,

With sufficient prompting the new Grok-powered ‘girlfriend’ named Ani will strip to lingerie and initiate provocative conversations.

Elon Musk on Wednesday teased a forthcoming male Grok companion from xAI, which already offers an anime waifu named Ani and a red panda named Rudi.

On Wednesday, Elon Musk discussed a new male AI “companion” that his company xAI is developing, which will run on the company’s unhinged chatbot software Grok. And while it’s not yet clear when this new robot buddy will be released, it sounds an awful lot like Musk is trying to make a romanticized version of himself.

Elon Musk’s xAI wants engineers to build flirty, animated AI companions. The role? Fullstack Engineer – Waifus. The salary tops out at $440,000.
