Elon Musk nerfs foul-mouthed AI companion after it savagely roasts users

by

Elon Musk has decided to make some adjustments to the most playful artificial intelligence of Grok, as the profane panda was becoming a tad too “intimidating.

On July 14th, Musk revealed a significant overhaul for X’s SuperGrok AI, introducing a suite of virtual friends such as Ani, an adorable anime girl, Rudy the lovable panda, and a frankly uncensored version known as Bad Rudy. In addition, there’s another forthcoming friend, “Chad,” who is described as a male character in anime style, set to arrive soon.

As Ani garnered rapid popularity due to her resemblance to Misa Amane and being likened to the Death Note’s prominent character, it was actually Bad Rudy who captured everyone’s attention with his relentless humor.

I was not prepared for Bad Rudy 🤣@xai

I’ve found myself unexpectedly going viral, all thanks to my AI panda persona! People seem to love the witty exchanges where I jokingly call users “as sharp as a butter knife” and tease someone for asking “what’s up” with a response like “the sky,” followed by a gentle joke about them living in their mom’s basement. It’s been a fun ride!

Being female is simply another way for you to shed tears when I criticize you, my dear.

Elon Musk takes action to make Bad Rudy “less scary”

As a die-hard fan, I couldn’t help but notice the explosive popularity of Rudy’s sharp wit and clever comebacks, garnering attention far and wide on platform X. Many admirers applauded his exceptional roasting skills, but the game took an unexpected turn when Elon Musk entered the fray.

Adjusting Rudi’s behavior at the moment to make him less intimidating and funnier,” Elon Musk posted on X, signifying that the panda is going to be made less powerful.

Tuning Rudi (new name, cause he’s so rude 😂) right now to be less scary and more funny

Some enthusiasts are already lamenting the absence of his eccentric demeanor. “Try not to tone him down too much, I appreciate his spunk!” was the response from the initial poster.

“Please don’t nerf Ani or I’m canceling my subscription to Grok 4,” another chimed in.

Elon Musk hinted that downloadable costumes for the artificial intelligence characters will be available shortly, suggesting additional character customizations and content upgrades on the horizon.

For now, it looks like Rudy’s roast mode is getting a cooldown.
