Keep your X data private and opt out of AI training
X (formerly Twitter) thinks it’s circumvented some of the issues other social media companies such as Meta have bumped up against in regard to training its AI, Grok, on user data and information – but there’s something you can do about it.
X quietly added a setting that allows your posts, interactions, inputs, and results to be used to train and ‘fine-tune’ Grok. X now features a checkbox in the app’s settings that is checked by default, and this setting’s disclaimer also mentions that your user data might be shared with Grok’s service provider, xAI.
