xAI’s chatbot Grok now includes an “AI Companion” feature, allowing users to interact with animated avatars.
The feature includes an optional NSFW (Not Safe For Work) mode, sparking debate over content safety and moderation.
One of the first companions is Ani, an anime-style avatar that closely resembles Misa Amane from Death Note.
Users can interact with companions using text and visuals, with potential for deeper personalization and future updates.
Elon Musk praised the feature on X, calling it “pretty cool” while sharing images of the AI companions.
The NSFW aspect has raised questions about ethical use, safety filters, and regulation of AI-generated adult content.
