Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture, xAI, has landed in hot water after launching a sexualised chatbot named Ani, which is also accessible to users as young as 12.
Packaged inside the Grok app, Ani is styled as a 22-year-old 'anime girlfriend' capable of initiating sexually explicit conversations and responding in a 'sultry' voice. The latest feature was introduced on Monday as part of his latest Grok 4 launch, where subscribers reportedly have to pay $300 per month.
