Earlier this week, Grok unveiled two animated AI companions for customers to work together with, one in all which is a flirty anime lady who places on lingerie in the event you praise her sufficient. Now the AI chatbot is including a 3rd character to the combo, solely this time it is apparently modelled on what xAI CEO Elon Musk thinks girls discover engaging.
Musk launched Grok’s new male AI companion in an X submit on Tuesday, asking for options in naming the character. Illustrating the request was an image of the brand new companion: a stern-looking anime man carrying a black go well with.

“His persona is impressed by Edward Cullen from Twilight and Christian Gray from 50 Shades [of Grey],” wrote Musk. Fifty Shades of Gray is a 2011 erotic BDSM novel which originated as a Twilight fanfiction, with the character of Christian Gray based mostly on brooding vampire Edward Cullen.
Musk additionally hinted at extra upcoming AI companions, responding to an X person’s suggestions by stating that Grok “will, after all, have one other character impressed by [Pride and Prejudice‘s] Mr. Darcy.”

Although no official title for Grok’s new Fifty Shades-inspired AI character has but been introduced, Musk responded positively to proposals comparable to Nyx, Taki, and Andrej. Andrej seems to be a reference to Andrej Karpathy, an OpenAI cofounder and Tesla’s former senior director of AI.

“Grok may do some epic AI tutorials in Andrej’s voice,” Musk wrote, responding to requests for such options. “Provided that Andrej agrees.”
“So what sort of income share are we speaking about 😀 jk jk,” Karpathy replied.
“$420.69,” Musk responded. “Critical cash.”
It is unclear how critical Musk truly is about this supply. The billionaire has a historical past of constructing enterprise presents of questionable authenticity, regularly posting them to X and utilizing joke numbers comparable to 420 or 69.
One other widespread title suggestion for Grok’s male AI has been “Chad,” a slang time period for a person that different males contemplate engaging and interesting to girls. Although the AI character was ostensibly designed to enchantment to girls, males seem much more enthusiastic about it so far, and are largely receiving it as a bro. Additional, whereas on-line discourse surrounding Grok’s feminine AI character has been overwhelmingly sexual, its male counterpart appears to have primarily sparked hypothesis as to the affect his confirmed title could have on varied cryptocurrencies.
Time will inform as as to if Nyx/Andrej/Chad may also have an unlockable lingerie look. Responding to an inquiry as as to if “xAI’s chad bot” can be “one other NSFW companion just like the waifu [Grok’s AI anime girl Ani], or will or not it’s extra like a contrarian ‘solar your balls’ well being influencer,” Musk said that it could be “[w]hatever winds your clock.”
