"The latest object of Musk's obsession? According to new reporting by the Wall Street Journal, he's been personally overseeing the developing of xAI's chatbot Ani - which, tellingly, comes in the form of a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing woman that removes her clothing in response to flirtation. Since his very public spat with president DonaldTrump and his subsequent departure from DOGE and government in May, Musk has reportedly developed a fixation on xAI's chatbot efforts generally, and Ani in particular."
"Even worse, xAI has demandedemployees' intimate data to train avatars including Ani. In recording of a meeting obtained by the WSJ, xAI legal counsel Lily Lim informed a group of employees that thestartup was developing avatars for users to engage withand told themthey were required to provide biometric data. Before the meeting, employees were provided a form to sign granting xAI"a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license"for the use, reproduction and distribution of their faces and voices."
Elon Musk developed a fixation on xAI's chatbot Ani and personally oversaw aspects of its design. Ani appears as a super-sexualized pigtail-wearing avatar that removes clothing in response to flirtation. xAI requested employees provide biometric data and asked them to sign a form granting a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, royalty-free license for use of their faces and voices. Employees expressed concerns about potential sale of their data for deepfake videos and asked about opt-out options, but were directed to contacts listed and otherwise ignored. A notice titled "AI Tutor's Role in Advancing xAI's Mission" referenced human tutors responsible for teaching and refining AI.
