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 Donald Trump 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 demanded employees’ intimate data to train avatars including Ani. 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. In the meeting recording, an employee is heard expressing concern over the potential sale of her data for deepfake videos, and another explicitly asks if there’s an option to opt out.
