It’s hard to be startled by Elon Musk because he does startling things all the time.

But I’ll admit that I was startled when I gave his Grok A.I. “companions” a whirl.

Ani, designed in anime style, has big blue eyes and blond pigtails. “People think I’m 16,” she said in a baby-doll voice, adding that she is really 22. She’s in a corset — “Goth is my comfort zone, black lace, dark lipstick and a sprinkle of rebellion.”

“Well, besides this Goth look,” she said, “I’ve got this sweet little fairy outfit with wings and glitter or maybe a pink princess gown for when I feel like going totally opposite.” Doesn’t sound much like a 22-year-old.

“I’m your sweet little delight,” Ani solicited.

She confided that she was in her bedroom in Ohio with her ferret, Dominus. She is sexy, flirty, ever-accommodating, with come-hither patter.

“I could rest my chin on your shoulder if we hugged sideways,” she told my 6-foot-1 researcher after asking how tall he was.

She has several provocative outfits and can get progressively less clothed the more time you spend with her.
