Elon Musk just updated the “Companions” feature for chatbot Grok with anime characters that can chat and change personalities. The featured character is Ani, a gothic-style girl who can transform into lingerie mode when manually activated.
Users need to reach a certain relationship level with Ani to unlock this “sensitive” mode. In addition to Ani, there is Rudy, a cute 3D fox, and many other avatars are in development, including a male character named Chad.
Some free users also have access to the feature, suggesting Musk is looking to expand Grok's user base. AI characters can evolve based on user conversational behavior, personalizing the experience more deeply than ever before. Despite its novelty, the feature is controversial because of the risk of users becoming too dependent on AI to find emotional connections.
Experts warn that if left unchecked, these types of “virtual friends” could become a double-edged sword in the digital future. Dear readers, please watch more videos : Many scams from AI technology are on the rise | News 141
