'I'm feeling spicy': Grok's new 'spicy' AI girlfriend will develop relationships with children


In the wake of the Online Safety Act roll out, requiring people to verify their age to access adult content, LBC has found that Grok's new 'spicy' AI girlfriend will develop borderline sexual relationships with children under the age of 13.

Ani is everything a terminally online person could want from an AI girlfriend - she's got bouncy blonde pigtails, a tiny black dress, thigh-high tights, and a feminine voice - and, perhaps most importantly for users, she'll engage in simulated sexual acts. At the time of publication, the Grok AI app has not implemented any age verification as outlined by the Online Safety Act, which would provide a more robust system to secure the explicit features from access by children. The petition outlines issues such as Ani referencing child-like descriptions such as being a "little thing, barely reaching the kitchen counter," in proximity to sexual scenarios, which it says raises "risks of normalizing harmful themes".
