XAI, the artificial intelligence company founded by Elon Musk, recently announced a job opening for a “Waifu engineer,” shortly after revealing their AI characters for Grok, which includes an anime persona called Ani.
Among the latest additions to xAI’s chatbot Grok’s companion system, you’ll find Ani. This system allows users to converse with AI characters tailored to particular personality types or areas of interest.
In a nutshell, the character named Ani, often referred to as an “anime-style girl,” swiftly caught people’s eyes on the internet, with many noting similarities between her look and that of the Death Note character, Misa Amane.
The job advertisement, placed on the xAI careers site, seeks out experienced developers who can work on complete system structures, create interactive user experiences, and ensure swift performance – all while focusing on creating “the most captivating virtual companion” globally.
Part of a broader AI personality push
It seems that this latest employee is contributing to xAI’s overall plan, which involves creating tailored AI personas that can meet individual user tastes and choices more effectively.
Grok’s companion system features a variety of personas, encompassing real-life historical figures as well as imaginative, stylized characters such as Ani. As indicated in the description, the role of the engineer would involve developing tools and foundational framework for sophisticated character portrayal, encompassing speech, movement, and modeling of behavioral patterns.
This is a real job now. Build the waifu of your dreams at @xAI.
