AI explained why Grok 4 seemed to search for Elon Musk's opinions when asked about some hot-button topics.

Elon Musk has just unveiled “Companions,” a new feature for his AI chatbot, Grok, that allows users to interact with AI personas. These include Ani, a gothic anime girl who communicates with emojis, flirtatious messages, and facts, as well as Rudy, a friendly red panda.

AI’s move to place ‘AI Companions’ within Grok comes after the chatbot announced itself as ‘MechaHitler’ last week.

The U.S. Department of Defense will begin using Grok, the AI chatbot built by Elon Musk’s start-up xAI, the company announced in a post on Monday.

AI’s chatbot spiraled into chaos after trying to sound more human. The fix reveals just how fragile truth-seeking AI really is.

Following Grok 4’s recent controversy involving antisemitic messages, the AI chatbot is under fire for consulting Elon Musk’s X posts when answering some questions.

Musk's announcement comes hours after xAI debuted its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4. The 54-year-old discussed the recent innovation during a nearly hour-long livestream shared on xAI's X page, during which he did not mention the chatbot's integration into Tesla vehicles.

The money behind Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar empire is increasingly flowing in one direction: toward artificial intelligence.
