At some point, X-formerly-Twitter auto-opted its users into sharing their data with Grok, owner Elon Musk’s unfunny « anti-woke » chatbot — without bothering to tell users about the change.

As Shachtman notes, opting out of having your data included in Grok’s training pool is as simple as de-selecting the allowance in your settings.
