    I haven’t used it, but my understanding is that it’s just an animated character for interacting with the Grok AI, except it’s flirty and has “relationship building” mechanics… Probably not the little animal guy though, I hope.

      Like, what, you level up with it like a dating sim? I’m creeped out already, just the only things I can think of that melonball would do are even creepier.

        I’m not quite sure how structured it is or how far it goes, but I read that the romance-able ones will at least get more affectionate and change into skimpier clothes. It sounds ridiculous, but I think this is just the beginning of this type of stuff. I remember seeing a clip of a man who had “fallen in love with” and “proposed” to his chatGPT girlfriend.

        There are also already dedicated subreddits where people are building “boyfriends/girlfriends” with LLMs and getting attached.
