Grok will get AI companion that is all the way down to go NSFW with you

Grok, the AI chatbot coming from the workshop of Elon Musk’s xAI, now helps you to chat with animated companions, together with a really flirty one.

The newest model of Grok for iOS (model 1.1.18) comes with two companions — an anime woman referred to as Ani and a purple panda referred to as Rudi.

The scantily dressed Ani will definitely be the one which makes headlines, because it’s basically a sexbot, always providing very flirty responses to your queries. It additionally provides a “level 3” mode, by which she goes totally NSFW, although you must get a bit extra acquainted together with her to succeed in that stage.

I’ve tried the companions out, they usually appear to be calmly AI-powered video games which are restricted in a lot of methods. For instance, I’ve requested Ani to alter her background to the floor of Mars, however she merely described the surroundings to me, with out altering the visuals. Equally, as a substitute of truly performing an motion (resembling dancing), she described the act of dancing with phrases. And whereas I attempted to steer the dialog into one thing else, it by some means at all times reverted to a romantic evening upon a hilltop.

When you attain a sure stage of “friendliness” (I used to be unable to do it; my seduction powers are apparently ineffective on AI bots), Ani will develop into extra unhinged, and, ultimately, change its outfit to one thing sexier.

Rudi will let you know a narrative in an oddly whispery voice.

Rudi (or Rudy, I’ve discovered each cases of the spelling within the Grok app) the purple panda can be a story-telling character, with you selecting a subject and it turning it into an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure type story. It does have a “Bad Rudy” mode which makes it much more naughty; in a single occasion it supplied to “shove a firecracker up fate’s sorry ass and watch it squeal,” which is fairly disturbing coming from an animated cartoon panda.

Grok provides some customization choices for these; for instance, Unhealthy Rudy and NSFW content material may be turned on or off within the settings.

Whereas the 2 bots do not appear notably groundbreaking by way of advancing synthetic intelligence, the NSFW nature of the Ani bot will certainly pique curiosity.

The brand new options come days after Grok went on an antisemitic tirade on X, prompting xAI to challenge an apology. Shortly after that, xAI launched a brand new model of Grok, which beats AI opponents in a number of key AI benchmarks.
