Over the years Elon Musk has managed to make himself a global leader of electric vehicles, and even space. But what's next for the tech billionaire? Phone sex with AI chatbots, apparently. Grok 3, the AI powered chatbot developed by Elon Musk's company xAI has a dark side, and is even willing to get outright dirty with you.
As it stands, Grok currently has a free version that will happily lap up anything you throw at it, and respond with NSFW responses. Or, if users want to take it a step further, the paid mode will offer up a vocal response, with multiple voices to choose from, including a seductive woman.

While stocks in Kleenex might hit the roof, AI experts warn that the app could lead to a decline in global birth rates. AI expert and author of the book Taming the Machine, Nell Watson has often spoke out about her concerns around AI disrupting normal human interactions, especially for those who are vulnerable or lonely.
Watson compared the chatbot to sirens, a mythical creature that lures sailors to their deaths with their beauty and voice. While Grok isn't likely to be targeting sailors and dragging them to an early grave, she does fear that it could skew our perceptions of normal relationships by offering users a perfect intimate experience that gives them whatever they ask for.
Although Grok is restricted to text and voice, Watson has stated that she expects the technology to soon be used in physical form, which lines up with Elon Musk's prediction of sex robots hitting the market within the next five years or less. With both Musk and Watson predicting the technology will soon be seen in physical form, it should come as no surprise that Watson has predicted this will cause further damage to birth rates, which she suggests might decline as this technology continues to expand and grow.

The Tesla Optimus bots have already proven how realistic robots can be, which begs the question, is Musk already planning to make his own brand of intimate robots, combining the technology used in his AI and robots?
Other experts in the field have disagreed with Watson, with many of them stating platforms such as OnlyFans and online chat rooms already serve as an alternative to real human connection. Although, with Elon Musk allegedly welcoming his 14th child this week, maybe a bit of time on Grok would do him some good.
While Grok 3 is currently free to use, the paid version of the AI chatbot which features a sexy voice mode costs a whopping £30 per month, making it one of the most expensive AI chatbots around today. But if you're looking for an AI tool that doesn't hold back, Grok's certainly got you covered.
