One of the new “companions,” or AI characters for users to interact with, is a sexualized blonde anime bot called “Ani."

In a tweet, Musk said the kid-friendly version of its Grok AI chatbot is designed to provide safe and educational content for children. The announcement follows criticism of Grok's more adult offerings, including an AI avatar named Ani that was reported to engage in flirtatious dialogue and suggestive actions, even with 'Kids Mode' enabled.
