Elon Musk’s AI ‘Grok’ just got an update that will make Weebs’ dreams come true, giving it an Anime Girl form.
On July 9, Elon Musk showcased the next step for his Xai, revealing the Grok 4, his most advanced model yet, which the SpaceX founder says is “better than PhD level in every subject, no exceptions.”
Along with Grok 4, Musk also unveiled a powerful $300-per-month subscription called Supergrok Heavy, which also gives users access to new features.
On Monday, July 14, Elon announced a huge new update for Supergrok in the form of an anime Ai Avatar Companion, which looks like Misa Amane’s character from Death Note.
Grok gets a new AI girl companion
In X, Musk revealed the companion by instructing subscribers to activate ‘Companion’ in Supergrok’s settings by pressing two bars in the top left of the screen, followed by the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
This gives users access to this new AI companion, Ani, a panda named Rudy, and a foul-mouthed version named Bad Rudy. A male anime character named Chad also appears to be in the works and is listed as “coming soon.”
AutismCapital, an X account Musk frequently interacts with, claims that ANI is designed to be a “copyrighted UN” version of Death Note’s MISA.
Both characters share a very similar appearance, with blonde hair and gothic clothing. Coming from Elon, this isn’t exactly surprising, as he’s demonstrated a fondness for anime and video game characters.
In 2023, he revealed photos of his ex-girlfriend Amber Heard cosplaying as Mercy from Overwatch – something he had requested to wear.
AI companions have become a viral topic in recent months. In fact, 40% of adults say they would date an AI chatbot, with 26% admitting they’ve flirted with one.
