Musk unveils new AI animated ‘companion' named Valentine
Elon Musk 's artificial intelligence company, xAI, has launched new AI -powered chatbot companions.
These features enable users to interact with customizable animated characters, driven by xAI's Grok chatbot.
One new companion, named Valentine, is described by Musk as having a personality inspired by Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Grey from 50 Shades of Grey.
Two other controversial AI companions, Ani and Bad Rudy, have also been introduced, with Ani exhibiting sexually explicit behavior and Bad Rudy responding with vulgar and violent language.
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation has called for the removal of the Ani chatbot due to concerns over its 'childlike' appearance and promotion of high-risk sexual behavior.
