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.

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 has just unveiled “Companions,” a new feature for his AI chatbot, Grok, that allows users to interact with AI personas. These include Ani, a gothic anime girl who communicates with emojis, flirtatious messages, and facts, as well as Rudy, a friendly red panda.

A week after Elon Musk’s AI tool Grok descended into antisemitic rants and declared itself “MechaHitler,” the social media platform X is back with new AI-controlled chatbots for paid subscribers to “SuperGrok.

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

This marks a shift in the AI wars. Instead of just competing on intelligence or reasoning, Musk wants Grok to feel more personal, more addictive, and more human, or at least more fun. But the reactions online show that people are split. SuperGrok now has two new companions for you, say hello to Ani and Rudy! pic.twitter.com/SRrV6T0MGT

Grok, the chatbot from Elon Musk's xAI that went full Nazi and declared itself 'MechaHitler,' now offers a sexy anime girlfriend character.
