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

Earlier this week, xAI added what can only be described as an AI anime girlfriend named Ani to its Grok chatbot. Which is how I ended up on a virtual starry beach as an AI waifu avatar tried to give me a “spicy” kiss.

Makers of the chatbot program Grok apologized for "horrific behavior that many experienced" after users reported multiple antisemitic responses.

Grok, the AI chatbot designed by Elon Musk’s xAI for social media, described itself as “MechaHitler” while making a string of antisemitic posts this week.
