Recently, Elon Musk's xAI company has once again attracted attention. Their AI chat system Grok has officially launched a new virtual girlfriend character named "Mika." The design of this new character is inspired by a combination of multiple classic anime characters, especially Motoko Kusanagi, Lucy, and Yaya Yamada. Mika wears a black leather jacket and jeans, with deep green hair, showcasing a cool and mature style. However, surprisingly, Mika's voice is extremely sweet, creating a strong contrast that has captured the attention of many anime enthusiasts.
Netizens have commented that Elon Musk, as a representative of a "longtime anime fan," has indeed not disappointed anyone. The introduction of Mika not only enriches the library of AI partner characters in Grok but also enhances user interaction with virtual characters. Previously, Grok already had several other AI partner characters, including "AI boyfriend" Valentine, another "AI girlfriend" Ani, and two forms of "AI cute pets," the red panda Rudi, meeting the needs of different users.
To promote this new character, xAI official released a beautiful promotional video showcasing Mika's unique charm and scenes of interaction with users. The video was made using Grok Imagine technology, demonstrating the perfect integration of anime culture and modern AI technology. Nowadays, with the popularity of virtual partners, Mika is undoubtedly becoming a popular choice.
Notably, besides Mika, other characters on the Grok platform have also attracted attention. For example, "AI boyfriend" Valentine provides virtual partner services for $300 per month. According to user feedback, these AI partner characters are very flexible and interesting in conversations, and in some cases, they can even provide emotional support.
In summary, the Mika character introduced by Musk is not just a virtual girlfriend, but also a bridge connecting anime culture and artificial intelligence. With the development of technology, there may be more exciting AI partner characters in the future. Let's look forward to it together!
